If anyone is into super detailing ( and I mean SUPER detailing) a 1/16th KT there is also an ongoing thread in AFV modeller, bit expensive @ £6 a pop (it is bi monthly tho) but I defy anyone to tell the difference between plastic and the real thing, its THAT good!

Abo, do you know which issue numbers have the KT info in? It would help a lot with my KT build.

Cheers,

Thanks Fleshy! I've just ordered his FAQ book, its the bible to 'Spanish School' techniques. That KT is excellent, Mig is an excellent model builder. I need to do a lot of research before starting the KT. I want even more detail than the Tiger, lol.

Cheers,

Rik,

Its issue 45, march/april onwards, in my book, its worth spending the money just for this article. I just picked up issue 50 and he's only on detailing the radio set, just looking at it makes you want to tune the bloody thing in!
