Hello
Who would gave more information on this KT end 45 early 46, with 3 traps engines and night vision
Please

Are you planning on making a "what if" 1946 sort of king tiger?
If so most of the differences would be internal and not really visible aside from a select few

Good evening
Yes that's it know that the engine hatch is in 3 parts,and that there is 2 system aimed at each side of the turret and a system on the tank commander cyinder,and I'm looking for som pictures

Ill see if i can find some for you
In the mean time the range finder bulges are more or less the same as the ones on Schmalturm of the Panther Ausf F

And there would be two of the infrared lamps for the night sights which i belive you can get as a kit for the Panther Ausf G they would be pretty much identical any way as it is exactly the same system

right seeing as the range finder was never actually fitted to a king tiger before the end of the war the best i can find are model kits or Digital models/renders

Here is a link to a model, it appears accurate and also has the three piece engine access hatch

Here are two images of the Panther Ausf F schmalturm turret with a very similar rangefinder



And here is how the game War Thunder portrays the stereoscopic range finder bulges, as far as i can tell it is accurate although the war thunder model is a little old so it is not the highest quality (it was added when tanks were added to the game in i think 2014/15)


War thunder also portrays the engine access hatch in exactly the same way as the model, the central section of the hatch is symmetrical whilst the other two are mirrors of each other (the hidden one in the image is effectively identical to the visible just mirrored)


finally the IR night vision system, this one is the easiest as there is a 1/16 kit for it! here is the real thing fitted to the cupola of an Panther Ausf G



As far as i can tell the system was not fitted to the king tiger but it was certainly possible, here are two screenshots of the IR system and the schmalturm complete with range finder bulges on the sadly incorrectly modelled (wrong turret and gun) Panther II in war thunder, this should work fine on a king tiger however you may also need a new drivers periscope as the one on the panther could rotate unlike the king tigers
Again this is another old model so it is not the highest quality



Finally here is a link to a very nice but expensive kit for the cupola IR system, i am not sure if there is one for the driver though

if you need anything else feel free to ask

For the NFG , have s look at my Zu Fuss Panther, page 4 of the HL section, a third of the way up from the bottom of the page.
Covers the three systems,
Mine were supposed to be the asiatam ones, but those took a detour!(remember that ZMr Painless!!)
I like the idea of you what if KT

Hello,
A big thank you for these photos I searched on the net ?left an article revue on " Steel Master " where he described.
Wath could have been a KT it's a 1/35 model from Amo and manufactured by Takom,I found that changed a little,and the camo a bit easier,which intrigues me ? It is be breakdowns of engines hatches,which seem to be the same as the original,and exceeds? For the device on turret there is less expensive ( printed 3D ) at Shappexays 30 dollars,for both on the side must be quite easy to achieve,its super nice to gave me halk this informations.
Excuse: my Inglish no perfect
