So it has been a while since i thought about the old King Tiger as the trucks had taken over. But i think it be nice to do some more work on this now.
The turret is very basic and doesn't look great.
So i am thinking about upgrading the whole thing into something a little different.

So i reckon i am going to 3D print a new turret and some details for the hull
Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe

It makes it unique anyhow. But need to get some parts together.
Herman, you still got those mudguards? Let me know the postage and we can get those over if that is ok as i want to make it look like a Prototype Lowe rushed into action and with battlescars. Ok a little fictional, but had the war gone on, maybe they would have seen service!

Hi, Will
I have the plastic barrel for the later full-option King Tiger, if that will be of any use to you? I used the alloy barrel provided in the kit.
Realistically, the plastic one is now surplus.
If you want it, PM me. :) Postage won't be that much, so it's nae bother for me. :wave:

Totally understand, i had also forgotten, but looked up from the printer the other day and saw the KT sitting there looking sorry for itself, so i need to restore her now. Just making the shelf look messy otherwise haha
