Hello friends (again).

This time my favourite German Tank of WWII, the mighty King Tiger. This is the Dragon kit with Friul tracks and aluminium gun barrel.

Thank you for looking

Outstanding. I especially like the running gear and how you did the mud/oil.

Vitor: I love the work you have done on the KT especially the paint work on the camouflage. The only area I question is the tracks as they look very light in colour, is this correct or just an effect of the lights and photography?

Victor

Very nice looking KT. If I may make a suggestion, you need to add the two fuel tank vent lines on each side. I can provide more details if required.

Regards

Hi Darren

Thank you

They are a little bit lighter here due to the flash, but they are lighter than usual because as far as i know this tank was in Berlin for some time, so i think the contact with the roads would make the tracks a little bit more shining than usual the fact that we are in spring/summer and the absence of muds and dirty roads would make it look like this. I used 3-4 pictures of the real thing as reference.

Im glad you like it Darren
