Here are a few pics of my DML Late Production King Tiger out of the box build. I apologize for the pictures, still trying to get better with the photography.

very nice camo, i do like a nice tiger II , the only thing i would do is to put a spot wash ( pin wash ) through it . still nice though ! what method did you use to do the camo

Thanks Tony,

Unfortunately the pin wash doesn't show in the pictures and maybe I should darken it further? I did the camo using silly putty and my trusty Iwata airbrush.

Hi Darryl,

The only thing that really stands out to me is that some of the rotbraun is really bright. Might try a very thin overspray of the base color to soften it up a bit.

Mark,

I see what you mean On the actual kit it isn't so vibrant, but it still is fairly "bright", next time I will tone it down some.

Darryl -

Good looking KT. Like the scheme, how did you find the build? Thanks for sharing your pictures. Cheers!

Tim,

The kit built up pretty good, the individual tracks are not fun, lots of clean up, the kit comes with a metal barrel that requires you to cut off the plastic muzzle brake from the plastic barrel, pe engine screens, and metal tow ropes.

Great looking build. I know what the others said, but I think it looks good. I finished a Panther that looked just like it. I toned it down with a light coat of Mig Dust.

Carl,

Thank you for your comments. I take everything positively, after all this forum is called "constuctive feedback".

Very nice KT. What did youy do for the masking. Oh and where you at Ajax 2007, because I saw a KT that was virtually the same.

Mahdi,

No it was not in Ajax, as i just finished it early January. I did attend the show as a visitor for the second time. I used silly putty as a masking tool and found it very easy to use.
