1944 King Tiger Dual Build Part 2 Henschel Tank

[PainlessWolf]

Good Afternoon!
First Post of Part Two of the once 'Winter' Dual Build. The Prototype Production Turret King Tiger has had the Battery taken out and is posing in the Spot where the new King Tiger was sitting in the Tank Room. I put a charged 7.4 L-ion battery in the new Tank and tested it again after a year + wait. Everything worked perfectly, Sound, Recoil, BB Fire, Smoker, it all worked. Here are a few pics of both Tanks side by side to start out the new Build Thread.
regards,
Painless

Tamiya XF92 Yellow brown
Tamiya XF62 Olive drab

If anyone needs it, here is the link to PainlessWolf's original "Winter" build: viewtopic.php?t=34867&hilit=Winter. It's full of good ideas.

My KöTi‘s are all in the out of the box camo.
Just added the Hinterhalt Tarnung, a slight weathering and in the end a wash with AK300.
For me, they‘re good enough this way!
BTW, the Tamiya Nato Green came very close to the HL green on these Tigers.

Good Morning,
Alan, Thank you for the Humbrol information. Herr Dr. Professor, thank you for posting the Link to the Build Thread. I had neglected to do so, my apologies all. Rob, I really enjoyed the look of your King Tigers. I also appreciate the fact that Heng Long is using a somewhat normal palette of colors this time ( No Drug Dreams ) and using a good pattern for their Camo. I saw a Build using the Ambush Scheme a few years back that tweaked my attention as it made a small but significant change to the scheme. I will need to do a little research on that. More brass details to apply and blend in and I see that Heng Long has not yet applied all the hatch handles in realistic mode. No matter, I figured and counted on this. This Build should be a little less stressful than the early KT ( all fingers and toes crossed ) so lets have some fun. ;0)
regards,
Painless

P.S. Mr. Rat! I will try to make it interesting just no near disasters during the Show Off Video
