King Tiger (henschell)

[NAB]

It wasn't the whole side plates. Just the front mud flaps I was thinking. However I've not seen any real pics of KT like this so I assume it was done at some point after the war

First bit of Zimmerit applied. The atak set isn't perfect so it needs a trim. Also some holes didn't line up so I cut new ones and filled the old ones.
I used sticks like sh*t. Similar to no more nails.

Hopefully the rest of the zim goes on well

Your work will turn this from a toy into a model. Really like the idea of the jerry cans mounted at the back of the turret. Will look for the photo for this and may try this on my King Tiger build which I have 90% assembled. The longer tube is the aerial storage tube which has the small cap on each end and you can see this on the Bovington King Tiger and this mounts on top of the deck and to the outer edge. Your red arrow is correct. The other bar is a pry bar which was used for track repair which you can imagine needed very good leverage with the size of the track links. Also helped with removal of any material that was lodged in the track guide wheels. Regards John.

I found this image which gave me the idea.
I've not seen KTs with other equipment stored on the outside. Maybe they had a lot of storage inside for helmets etc.

It’s out of stock at a lot of places. However they do have it in stock at the Bovington Tank
Museums web site, which is where I bought mine from last week.

You got 1/16 king tiger Zimmerit from Bovington tank museum??

EDIT * oh you mean the book lol

Zimmerit finished.
I'm not sure how some little bits on top of the side panels will look once it's got a base coat of paint on it so might need to fill them in with milliput.
The atak kit didn't have a MG mound sheet, it had a complete mound so I did that section with milliput (which will make Rad happy lol)
The rear panel was a pain and needed to cut the sheet into sections to apply.

Thoughts?

Sounds like how I say Heng Long (London accent) lol

Not good when they can't get their company name stamped correctly on their stuff!

Good old 'eng long
