Hi all

I have a Takom King Tiger kit. Just started the build.

Unfortunately I seem to be missing the interior painting guide and more importantly the decal instructions. I've tried Takom and getting any sort of response from them appears to be a lost cause.

If anyone has a copy (esp the decal instructions) that they could scan and email I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

Takom has five versions of King Tiger, which one is yours? Item no.?

Paul

Thanks Paul, I was wondering who would be the first to spot that one.

It's Henschel Turret, no zimm, full interior, 03.01.2073.

Thanks for your help

Andy

Have you seen this:

David is a pretty sound source on such matters.

Thanks Robert

That's very interesting and seems to be a little different to what I've seen of the MiG guide. David B seems to suggest the walls were painted ivory up to,and part including, the frontal amour. Only the floor was red (+ transmission etc). Suits me as there's more weathering opportunity on an ivory base

Still needing the call outs for decals though.

Thanks all

Andy

I take that back

Takom have just contacted me after I posted on their Facebook page. Promised to send the missing pages out in 3 days

If they do 10/10 for customer service.

Personally I'd place far more credence on David's research than that of a paint company whose objective (entirely reasonably, for a business) is to sell more paint. Others may hold contrary views, which is fine.

...I do
