i must agree i really like this colour scheme, great looking build, these paler tones suit the size, once the weathering is on it will burst into life, very nice! regards simon manning.

Just a few photo's of the King Tiger leaving the workshop, Fender's all painted but i like the look not fitted, so they are all bubble wrapped for safe keeping.
Just some weathering to do and a few bit's and bob's left,
Really pleased the way it's turned out.
Regards Roger

Thank's Paul for the nice comment it's been a long haul but it's been worth it and really pleased, cant wait to give a test run but it's stuck in the loft at the moment.
P.S How are you getting on with your new King Tiger (Freddie's)

Okay I'll bite, How do you get a 200kg king tiger (built?) out of the loft? is it like Gibbs boat building in his cellar in NCIS??

Hi all,
Finally managed to get the King Tiger down from the work shop (The Loft) had to strip down and reassemble.Two and a half years later it's up and running.
I would like to say many thanks to Gill and Mark for putting together a brilliant kit for the modeler and for having such a good after sales service, for sorting out any problem's etc ,
Also I would like to say thanks to the forum members on the comments and advice on the build
All the best Roger
P.S. Here is a link to a video for you to view, on the King Tiger on it's 1st run.
