The finished product, very little weathering: It's a restored 80's toy, the weathering was not the trend.

ra272, Good afternoon,
You have done those King Tigers proud. As interesting an adaptation as Fastrax2 is, my imagination is fired by the King Tiger in the Ambush scheme. ;o) Excellent work!

Thank you, I'm new in the tank thing, I'm basically a car guy...and even more a monster truck guy, so at some point I had to make a tracked monster. ;D

I'ts a nice transition between my love for rc schwere panzers and rc cars. :haha:
