Reviewed the video today,King Tiger movement in first video is perfect.The aircraft circling behind the KT is so realistic begining and continues as the KT demonstrates movement and positioning maneuvers to Aircraft passing behind again since the aircraft circle to the rear right it just adds to the effect.I really enjoyed your review of the show.Sax

Thanks for your kind words Sax it was indeed a rare occasion for filming tanks, with all the planes flying above.
I did play with that video a bit and pretended it to be an archive footage

[Saxondog]

When did you re-install the working gun mechanism? Last time we talked I thought you had removed it? Nice effect just the same.Sax

[hatakashi]

Well I never really "removed" the pyro firing mechanism just disabled it.
But still, I haven't been able to find a suitable moment to fire off a round ...
