Torro King Tiger with Henschel Turret

Post by ttt »

My 1st tank. Straight out of it's posh packing case. Ready built and ready to run so I can't claim any credit for any of it. That said, I'm quite chuffed with the way the side view pictures have turned out.

Hey Triple T... you got pictures up ..terrific ... and great looking KT.... almost got one of those... Mattorro does a great job... the only feature that kept me from getting one is the molded in Zim...Great for historical ... but bad for GUP :haha:

Thats smoother than a gravy sandwich mate....................I just got my H/L Henschel KT last night and its a dead ringer for Tiger 213 in La Gleise out of the non-swish packing box !

It must be real hard to bring yourself to want to tamper with that mate, very nice indeed.

Hi Horses45,
I'm still on 'L' plates. Trying to master the art of driving on curves of various radii at varying speeds without any sudden, violent, unexpected, changes in direction. It has 4:1 gearboxes so top speed looks realistic and I'm impressed with the way it drags it's heavy weight up inclines.

Hi Painless and Alpha,
Beautiful and great looking...yes. I'm amazed at the detail and have spent ages just gazing at it in admiration.

Hi Mark,
Well,......being new to this, I'm not sure of when it was first released. I think it's a new model but some web sites claim that just about everything they sell is new. I've read some complimentary reviews with recent dates and seen some recent stuff on youtube including http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsqpmZgCf8c

Hi Herman,
Gravy sandwich? Us Poms sometimes have brown sauce sandwiches and we often use a slice of bread to mop up gravy but.................(I'm lost for words)
Scalawag has kindly been talking me through the procedures for correcting a few faults which came with it and this has enabled me to learn how things work. In addition to that I've made a few minor internal modifications and have a few more in mind but I don't intend to tamper too much.

Thank you all for your kind comments,
Tim

Yep got to admit Tim they are in my top 5 favourite tanks lol ,but they do handle well with practice and just love the way they move .but again that's why I have 3 1/2 torro tanks 2King Tigers and the KV-2 ;) and the half is a complete bottom hull of a torro king tiger with metal gears and tracks just missing the top half but it's so tempting to get one and have 3 then + a H/L KT :D .
