Great King Tiger. Camo is great. Lots of detail. Not over weathered. Great build

Good looking model Ayhan!

But I have a question regarding the third photo. (I need to say I'm not an expert at all on german subjects) You can see a 'gap' between the gun mantlet and the front turret. Is this usual?

Keep up the good work!

Jurjen,

Yes the ''gap'' should be there.



This will explain

Hilbert, Where is that pic from? I've never seen that camo before! Do you know how accurate it is? That would be a nice change to do a king tiger like that!

I know the steps of this monster. You worked hard on it and I think you've finalized it great. Beside the overall painting the cammo job is excellent my friend. Congrats on finishing it..

Very nice job on your KT Ayhan...You know that there were only a couple of the 501st tanks that did not have an Ambush scheme and 332 was one of them ...but that is only for nit pickers like me to know ..I was wondering if it was the pictures or are the numbers blue with white outline? It should be blue with yellow out line ..again nit picking ..You just picked a tank that I know pretty well . If you want I can post a color picture of this tank as soon as the gallery is up and working ...
But all in all it looks great ...Makes me want to take mine down off the pile and start building it.

That's the Tiger II at La Gleize, it's one of Peiper's. The paint scheme is strictly modern.

@thebear
The colors became darker after the oil washes. The numbers are blue with white outlines, these where the Tamiya's color choice for the numbers. I checked dragon's same kit, it's color choice is same.
I liked the ambush pattern shown by tamiya and made it. I will search for the 332's camo pattern. I would like to see your color picture when you can post it.
Thanks...
