20 dollars could have went for other things... creating a larger discount percentage wise weighing out the significance of getting something small absolutely free... or something large definitely became an issue of thought....finally setting relativity aside... opted for the large...especially since RCD had almost knocked off 15% off the original mark
So not grinning all that much Herman... as I still had to dish out some change ...especially since I could have got this baby for a lot less in November...Priorities were different then... so really the canary actually got away....perhaps just a little smirk of glee... like coming from a long dry spell...a swipe of the brow...thinking "FINALLY".... and having a sip of a favorite whiskey

Have a good one Herman

Yes indeed Painless... Ugly ... unlike Joe...who's priceless expression was done with careful precision ... the Tiger striped pattern .... though probably very close to being prototypical..is just as exciting to me as watching grass grow ...the Porsche turret... what can I say... nothing more than "It's freaking round!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Fortunately I have an old Tamiya... which I will be swapping parts back and forth with to achieve the final goal of the Herschel KUROMORIMIRO Tiger....to which I can only hope this stripped caterpillar turns into a more formidable looking moth ..............

Have an Enjoyable end of the week Painless

Good Afternoon,
I did a minor rebuild of the HL Porsche King Tiger a couple of years back. It was my first attempt in years at serious modeling. Looking at the almost non existant build thread again, I can see that most of my work went into making the heavy duty metal tracks and sprockets work with the tank. It came with everything pre installed and a fair job had been done yet it took a then new Henntec style Idler wheels brace and adjuster and metal swingarms to get it to run properly. It was my biggest and heaviest tank to date until this KV-2 came along. Still runs perfectly but I will be revisiting it for paint and more detailing in the future. Probably switch to 2.4Ghz as well. I just ran 'In The Mood' in the back yard today and was amazed all over at the range and control of the new 2.4 set. The King Tiger can only benefit from one as well. And on the subject of King Tigers, have you seen the new Torro Henschel King Tiger coming out in the metal edition from Taigen? "Freaking Amazing" to borrow a phrase.

Oooo looking forward to this lol

Got a link to that 'Full Metal Tiger" mate ?

Herman,
Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsqpmZgCf8c I may have to get one of these. Everything seems to work on it regarding hatches and detail as well as having the full metal lower hull, etc. Sounds like parts will be available too for redos of existing King Tigers.
