The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Yves, Your KT is coming along nicely. The nicely painted tank in your posted snow pic is not mine, but looks like a 1/35th or 1/24th scale model.

the paint scheme and picture setting are similar to my model.

She's a beauty John. They are the colours I would go with. I think the paint scheme is a base of oxidrot primer with camo stripes in Dark yellow and green. Striking scheme. Really stands out.

Hello everyone,

My mistake John, the two KT are very similar to each other,
for me its hard to tell what scale nr 332 is?

Thanks Tim for posting the link whit all John Grimma's pictures of his KT,
this is a great help to me.
Thanks Simon for the good comments
best regards Yves

Hello everyone,

Hi guys,

Here is a little update of my KT.

First i installed the pololu box with a on and off switch just under the little hatch
of the turret. That was the best way to control the animatronics.

Afterwards i installed the grills just under the back of the turret ( Steve W grills )
And made 2 of the 3 locks to close the engine hatch ( have to order some more of the M2 bolts and nuts to make the third one )

Nice one Yves

Great job on the camo.

Hi Yves,

Your KT is a stunning unique.

Where did you get the tube at the top-edge of the rear plate? Is it a storage for extra antennas?

Lerh Chang

Hello Chang,

The tube comes from Mike Stannard, it is included if you buy
the stern antenna deluxe set.
The tube is used to storage the 3 parts of the large antenna thats on the
right backside of the KT. But i donth place that antenna, i just use the tube for the detail. And there are already 3 antenna's on my KT.

Thanks guys for the compliments on the camo scheme, there is still some work to do
to make it better.
best regards Yves

Hi Yves,
Very nice finish on your King Tiger,I like the Camo and all
of your detail.
Cheers
Phil
