King Tiger (2019) No.5 Build in Korea

Youngjae Bae · Post by **Youngjae Bae** » Thu Feb 20, 2020 1:17 am

I will share my King Tiger build here.
I'm so happy to have a King Tiger that I've been hoping to own since 2013.
I have not yet determined what kind of historical vehicle to build and paint.
Because I plan to make bear metal first.
Whatever I do, my King Tiger will enjoy every step of the way because it will give me the pleasure of production.
I'm a little short of knowledge about tanks, but I hope you'll kindly understand.

My King Tiger arrived in Korea well just now.
I am going to pay customs and surtax this day and the kit will be shipped home Monday morning.
This weekend could be very boring because of waiting.
Nevertheless, it's a pleasure to welcome a long-awaited gift.

All five boxes of my king Tiger arrived safely just now.
My wife put more energy into my study than King Tiger.
My cats check the box.

The box I ordered contained many popcorn.
The King Tiger part is included as an appendix.

I am looking at the books about King Tiger.
And I prepared additional M1.6 M2 0, M2.5, M3 hexagon bolts and nuts, referring to the picture in the booklet.

I'm doing image training by carefully looking at the assembly manual.
I am going to carry out this post-production when the optional pack arrives.
King Tiger has no reason to be in a hurry.

I've finally worked hard on my king tiger, which I've only kept as a kit, for three weeks after five years, to complete it in bare metal format.

Everyone who chose this year's new king tiger must have made a great choice, too.

Hello Youngjae
Well done with the KT build, it must be a record for building one of these.
I also have a unbuilt 2019 KT that I hope to build after my Chieftain.
Regards
Steve

I love this "big cat" in the raw unfinished steel look with it's photo etch highlights, it's real sharp. I might do the same when I start my kit, they look impressive unpainted.

The 2019 King Tiger takes a bit of work to produce, but most of the original kits are very sophisticated, so you didn't have to make big modifications. Here are a few more photos, and in the future, I'll add an option pack to finish the production.
I love this bare metal king Tiger.
