Tamiya King Tigers turret modifications 001.JPG
Chris I am thinking of duplicating your paint scheme for one of the KT's that is base coated Tan,the more I look at the pictures the more I like the look,simple but effective. Hope that's ok with you? cheers Blake

Those numbers look fine to me mate so don't sweat it. As for the crosses I would have a go with the white outline as it would finish it off tidy in my honest opinion, but then It's not my tank and I ain't the one sweating blood over painting it :D . Keep up the good work and remember if you do a wash and a little weathering it will tie the numbers in with everything :thumbup: . By the way when can I send mine over for you to paint my turret numbers :haha: .

i put kt back together today painted and varnished tracks then put them on switched tank on and it just goes back and forth like its firing nothing else works then a part of inside turret that holds the barrel broke off so now i have to take the whole thing apart i tested it all before putting it together and it worked fine talk about happy fathers day this is it before i strip it down

Hi Chris, The issue with the tank function is beyond me? I do have all the wiring schematics if you need them. Are you saying that the tank only does the jerk function? Are you using an RX18 with the left stick mod? Your KT looks great to me so I will try to copy your fine paint work and send the turret over for you to number for me...
