So, I recently got into AFV modeling and I want to start with king tiger, I want to try TAMIYA R/C 1/35 king tiger..I think it's exactly the same as the regular production model without the controller and moving parts, anyway, is this particular tamiya kit correct in historical form and turret? I will add zimmerit resin to it as well.. any thought is welcomed

If I were you I would rather go for one of the numerous Dragon KT kits. Both turret types are available, both with and without Zim. They are also the more accuratge kits and will build well out of the box without having to spend more on aftermarket gear. Just a thought.

I must agree the the Dragon Kits are really nice. However, if you want to go with Tamiya the Adrennes Front kit is the best one. If you are just getting started and want a kit with zimmerit I'd recommend the Dragon kit. It is not as easy as it seems and if it is not done correctly it will destroy the kit.

Yea i figure the dragon kits are better choice but i want the RC lol..it'd be so cool if my minin tank not only good for display but it moves as well..so i want to know if the tamiya kit is historically accurate, i think the R/C one is the production type. Thanks for the input, both of you.
