MY KING TIGER PROJECT

[n1ghtpony]

just working on the rear panel now just a few things i want changed ie no mudflap holes removing the shackles and some detailing to the exhaust

[n1ghtpony]

ok after finishing the sides so they are flush and straight as i said had to fill in some minor gaps with milliputt
also a small mod to the inner gun port

after that it was the zimmerit MC recommended green putty he was right it done the trick never done this before came out ok needs to be sanded slightly but the trick was to just do it slowly also added the armoure hanger brackets one side took me around 65mins just had to get the hang of it



with a bit of luck i will have time to do the whole hull on sunday if my kids give me a break lol

oh! and a big thanks to MC for the info on the zimmerit

Your welcome......If you want the seperations between the lines, try this........

drag the hacksaw about 5mm side ways, then without lifting the blade ,slide the blade up and down...and then drag it another 5mm....this will give you the Differance in the "rows" created with the hand width trowl.
