Hello, I have started building dragon's new king tiger w/ the new tracks and 18 tooth sproket. I have seen the picture here and know i have to put zimmerit on. Now for my questions. Are the turret numbers black? In the pic they look black. And second some one posted about a way to make zimmerit w/ elmers wood filler and i would like to try this, so if someone could tell me how. This is a really good kit. Thanks.

Hey Kar98K, I'm no expert on turret numbers but this may help:
Turret Numbers

Zdorovo zemliak, i've seen many King Tigers on photos and even the one in Kubinka outside Moscow and try this site http://www.battlefield.ru/ http://www.battlefield.ru/index_r.html . As far as i know the numbers were usulaly red on the Eastern front and rimmed with white.

O my mistake.On the box the tank is #109. It is black but i heard that there is a problem w/ the numbers. The tank is Abt 506.

I can't confirm the acctual color of the company numbers but from the picture I have of 109 I have to agree with black and white ..the second company was red and white and the 3rd company was black with yellow outline .. I know it is not much help but ...
