King Tiger Production Line

[Spartan tracks]

My recantly finished king tigers which were built side by side,(too many wheels) but all three were slightly Diferant but all with similar markings.

Yes, and you did a great job on them.

Andy an excellent job on the King Tigers.

very nice matching set - and I suspect you favour the Porsche turret/version!

Andy, I've watched your progress ever since I joined here, and I can't tell you how impressed I am. All the health issues you've battled lately and still you produce a set of such great looking tanks. I absolutely love the idea of multiple model tanks from the same unit. I'm so impressed I have a question for you - If I send you three sets of photo etch engine grills for the King Tigers, would you install them and re airbrush that area? I know it can be a pain and I really should have made the offer before you painted them, but I didn't know!! But I'm not kidding, if you're willing to do the work I'll send you three sets of PE engine grills for those tanks.

And I skimmed through your "started topics" but didn't see anything on the Stug in the second photo. Is that also a matching paint scheme from the same unit? I hope so, because that would be just too cool. I'd love to see more of that tank if you can tell me where to look. Hmmm, twenty years ago I liked looking at boobs, but now it seems I prefer model tanks. Sometimes I scare myself.

Thanks for the kind words MAX the stug was painted about 8 months ago and is similar to the KTs ,if you pm me Max I'll pay for the photo etched covers that would be great kind regards Andy

Phew! And there was me thinking that I was the only one,,,,

Andy, just PM me your snail mail address and I'll get on it. I'm quite selfishly doing this in a pathetic attempt to improve my karma (and believe me, it needs all the improvement it can get) so please don't say anything silly like you paying for any of this. Just keep on doin' what you do, just the way you've been doin' it, showin' the new guys what a real RC Tanker can do. This place would NOT be the same without you, My Friend.

That Stug is a real little beaut. Here's a shot of mine, and you'll see that we have our tracks on opposite of each other.



The only reason I put mine on this way is because of this photo ...



But I've been told they did it both ways. So what were you able to find? Do you think it even makes a difference? Do you have a source over there for metal spare track links? One thing I've always hated about this photo of my Stug is the way the spare links have crept up in the rack on one side. That's from me setting it in place instead of driving it. They'll drop back down again as soon as it starts moving, but it really bugs me to see them like that. Yeah, I can be a strange man sometimes.

Don't forget to PM your snail mail address, Andy.
