I started this kit over a year ago and was put off by the many changes that needed doing to make it look a bit better.
I added some of the voyger pe parts mainly engine grills/spare track holders.i also removed the horrible molded on grab handles and made my own using small styrene rods.it will be a first for me as am going to paint it with the tracks and wheels left on.
Now painting ideas i dont have many at the moment.i dont want to do an ambush camo so i thought of a late colour scheme of lightish green and some parts left in red oxide or green with patches of dark yellow.theres not much reference on late king tigers as there all painted in ambush colours.any suggestions?
Thanks for looking
Regards
Karl

what's the difference b/t a tiger II and a kig tiger?
also, what's the gray stuff on the tank right now? i can never figure it out and i'v never asked anybody. is it primer?
also about the camo, try looking through the features section if u already haven't...u might find something useful
good luck!
