yves king tiger update

[Chang]

Yves, Your KT looks great. The circular brace around the turret motor is a good idea. I also like the co-axial MG now sit in some kind of dark block (?) inserted into the MG slot. I wonder is it a sponge or something?
Also, have you sorted out how to make the co-axial MG barrel moved up-down simultaneously with the Kwk gun barrel?
Keep up good works!
Cheers,
Lerh Chang

Hello,

Thank you guys for the the compliments about my work.
John, i'am gonna use a 3 collor camo, dark yellow TS-3 in spray cans ( Tamiya )
dark green XF-61 in little jar ( Tamiya )
red brown X 64 in little jar ( Tamiya )
But still dont know what color scheme i'am gonna use ( perhaps my own )

Chang, the MG in the turret is fixt in a resin cillinder with a screw, this MG
is not moveable. The one in the hull is only left en right movement.
Yes i put a extra bracket on the turret rotation motor because i know from some
people that they have problems with the turret rotation.

best regards Yves

Hello John,

its not good enough for me, maybe i will ask somebody to paint it for me

Hello,

Thank you guys for your nice comments,
Today arrived my extra detail parts from Mike so i can start again with the
little things.

Last weekend i dit some work on the turret, because on monday i had a operation
on my left knee. So the next few days i can not drag around with large pieces.

So now it's the time the work on the little things on the KT
best regards Yves

Thanks for posting the pictures of camo schemes. I should be putting some camo on Padges King Tiger this week. First tank with the zimmerit will be similar although if I ever get a King Tiger I will go with the non zimmerit ardennes version on the second KT

some good upgrades yves, your build has come along quickly, john grimas kingtiger looks very convincing in the camo he painted, keep the photos coming thier interesting to follow, regards simon.

Hi Yves

I think John's Tiger is # 366. The one in your photos looks like a 1:16th scale model. Very similar paint job to John's though.
