Hello Folks...

First of all i would like to apologize for the incompleteness of my entry. As based on my previous progress pic at (Link Here), i promise to finish my entry with a few figures, a kubelwagen and a zundap motorbike.
However, due to my tight schedule and some other reasons i cant keep my promise and only managed to finished my King Tiger. All of the figures and the kubelwagen are still remain as it is since the last progress photos in the link above.
So i guess i'm not qualify to get the ribbon.

Well, enough said..here are some photos.. I manages to solve the pink issue by handpainted the brown color. And sadly i lost the front MG... 2-3 hours trying to find where it is... I'm afraid i threw it away together with some leftover sprues.....

thanks for viewing

Hi Zaidi,

I think you'll still be able to qualify for the ribbon. Remember that the rules said that it doesn't have to be a dio.

Nice KT! I like the ambush camo and the subte weathering. The towing cable, though looks a tad too clean for me. Maybe a few splotches of rust?

I agree with Angela on the tow cables - I like the streaks on the front of the hull - you were able to pull those off well. The 2nd picture, although kinda big, shows what I am talking about. Impressive.

Zaidi, I am glad you worked on the tow cables as that is the only thing that I see that needed work. You made an excellent ambush camo pattern and your KT is an excellent addition to the A-O campaign. cheers Kevin

Zaidi WOW it looks great! I only hope my KT comes out half as well. I am busy with campaign builds like you but I hope to squeeze it in this summer. You really did the kit justice! Way to go!

Hi Zaidi,

Great looking KT you got there!

The filter you gave to the tank makes it look real worn and dirty. You've hit it spot on.

What a waste though, you lost the front MG.
