I detailed up the HengLong Kingtiger to the image of the tank number 008 Ardennes Front /The 501st heavy tank battalion.
In order to represent the surface of the rolled steel and cast iron, I dug a lot of tiny holes using a mini router, painted the thinned Tamiya putty with a solvent on it and hit the wire brush. After drying, I sanded lightly on that surface.
The gun rack and ammo bag on commander cupola is self made with brass material. The ammo belt was made by evenly sandwiching a brass wire cut into a bullet shape into two thin black paper bands. I used the Voyager Model etched parts for OVM's Clamps.
The tracks are weathering painted on original plastic tracks. I used BEIER - Electronic USM - HL 2 for the sound board and converted the original BB spec to servo recoil.
