How about a set of these for the rear grills?

It's a very cool build. I like the black and silver combo.

Fitted on mine before I removed them to be primed
*Edit I zoomed in and can see you have mounted yours underneath. Cool

That's the set I got but they don't fit too good on the tamiya plastic. My tank is a frankingtiger with parts from Tamiya, Taigen, Heng Long and even Hooben. Only the turret is Heng Long.

You could crew it with figures that have gas masks on, they look quite intimidating.
I will try to find a pic of what they look like
I've not really thought about figures but now you give me ideas!

You buy them like that or did you have to paint them? Also, is that a King Tiger you customised or a different veriant that I've never seen before? Interesting..

They are not mine.
Apparently they are standard figures with replacement heads.
Then painted.
The tank is a bespoke E series ,

Today I made a speaker box and tested out the lights. All looks good for wiring up once I fit the slip-ring, etc.
Thinking about getting a Zinc Electroplating Kit to brighten up the driving wheels and idlers. Less than £40
