Vintage Tamiya Porsche King Tiger.

Good evening evening guys.


After the Aber' s kit for the Bergepanther, I have received in my order a kit for this Kingtiger Porsche. For moment, I stop here, because I want to turn it functional and I need to do an order with Knupfer.

The others photos are about the type of exhaust for this Kingtiger. It is from a Tiger 1 with modifications. Some Porsche Kingtigers had this system...

H Fred.Fantastic work on your Porsche turret.What size brass bolts did you use for mounting the schurtzensThey look a good scale.Regards John Glover

[FredtheFrench]

Good morning John.

For the brass bolts, the "head" size is 1.5mm. It is fake bolts than you can buy on the website Knupfer. An excellent shop with a lot of bolts, screws and others things and details.

Have a good day.

Thank you

H Fred,I found Knupfer and what they have is awesome.Some more questions.Knupfer offer that bolt with a tall head[1mm] or a low head[0.6mm].Which one did you use and with your self made schurtzens mount plates ,what thickness of evergreen plastic card did you use and what size are they.They look like they may be some like 3mmx6mmx1mm.I appreciate your help.regards John.

Good evening.

Few weeks ago, I spoke with a nice man on facebook, about parts on his kingtiger Porsche. My project was stopped, because I wanted to make an early Porsche kingtiger and I discovered these parts.

I contacted him, and surprise, It was a 3D designer and modeller.

This is the new parts for my King Porsche and I love it!!!

Not fix. Just for pictures!

Hi Fred, so glad you got the parts finally, it did take a little bit longer to arrive to you than anticipated but at least they eventually got to you =)

I'm happy to have helped you revive your build, i know some of these builds are labour of love - i should know, my F01 Tiger 1 build took me 10 years to finish as finding the correct parts, steel wheels in my case were difficult to find haha

Hi Patrick. I didn t know you were on rctankwarfare

Thank you again.

Be great to see pics of your F01 build mate. As we all know, these things are not supposed to be a race, more a way to pass time constructively.

Mr Fred, your King Tiger is going to be a benchmark for detailed early versions of the relatively rare Porsche, I can just tell
Great to see you keeping on with it now
