The plan is to build a later model King Tiger that took part in the Ardennes campaign, which was probably the Tiger 2's finest hour during Hitlers last roll of the dice.
Anyone who has looked over the Battle of the Bulge pictures will have come across this photograph ....
This is what I am aiming for ......As you can see there is a little work to do to arrive at somthing even half decent ....
Just sitting down with a morning coffe in the sun and a Hb pencil showed at least 20+ corrections and reworks so far.
That light cable will have to go for a start .....
Plotting out rear deck modifications .....
And the same for the turret ...
For starters I have added a thick alloy plate along the whole length of the floor pan.
Its held in place with longer Hex screws than the Schmo upgrade offering. I treated myself to the really tiny hex head bolts to hold the torsion bar fittings - shame they will not be visible once the wheels are on ..
I will post more detailed explanations and pictures as the build progresses..
AS for the name ? Well I chose 'Willi ' simply for the old gag - Willi he hurry up and finnish it ? -
It will also be worth looking at the panic in club members eyes if I walk up to them and ask them ' Do you want to see my Willi ? '
This could run and run ..............
Andy
..........but I will look forward too seeing this progress,.
