Hi all

just picked up a copy of the fine scale modeler ( feb 2010 )

and there a very nice 6 page article about how to model the tamiya king tiger ...

its basci stuff ..

but perhaps thing we forgot about !

its not about the Rc side of the KT but about the application of zimmerit ..and detailing so parts

and also how to remove the driver / gunner hull hatches

and some weathering methords

its in full colour and a very noce sorce of insperation

have a look nextime your in w h smiths

iain

If anyone is into super detailing ( and I mean SUPER detailing) a 1/16th KT there is also an ongoing thread in AFV modeller, bit expensive @ £6 a pop (it is bi monthly tho) but I defy anyone to tell the difference between plastic and the real thing, its THAT good!

Abo, do you know which issue numbers have the KT info in? It would help a lot with my KT build.

Cheers,

Thanks Fleshy! I've just ordered his FAQ book, its the bible to 'Spanish School' techniques. That KT is excellent, Mig is an excellent model builder. I need to do a lot of research before starting the KT. I want even more detail than the Tiger, lol.

Cheers,
RIk

Rik,

Its issue 45, march/april onwards, in my book, its worth spending the money just for this article. I just picked up issue 50 and he's only on detailing the radio set, just looking at it makes you want to tune the bloody thing in!
