Tamiya King Tiger and Panther

Post by Tiger I »

Anyone know of any nasty problems with these 2 builds that I should look out for. I know the Panther has a problem with the gun barrel but its the only one that I'm aware of.

tracks on the Tiger II are prone to breakage but can be fixed with metal tracks and the tension could do with the up grade part other than that the Tiger II is fine, Panther is as you say the gun mantle and only the commanders hatch can be opened

The gun is easy fix all i done was to wrap ally tape round the base for a tighter fit but i think if your thinking of getting one of these kits the king tiger is the best
