I moved this to Axis WWII. Always wanted to do a King Tiger. I did want a 1/35 but I have two 1/35 builds, T34 and Tiger I, so I opted for something to fill between slow times when I get bogged down by drying paint or waiting for glue to set up. This will be a late war tank, Berlin 1945 in mainly dark yellow with dark green only on the turret and barrel.---John

I started with the turret and barrel assembly' There was no hole in the end of the barrel so I drilled a starter hole then reamed it with an Exacto blade.---John

You'll also have to carefully drill out, or replace the lift rings. If the Dragon KT is still available you might consider it. It does have better detail plus PE for the engine and radiator grills.
