Hello all

Just arrived from US here today. New grills - now the correct Engine Intake Grills.

This weekend they will be sprayed with my new airbrush.

Hello

3 weeks vacation, now 14 days is gone, first drive in my vacation. Only bad weather in Denmark so far, got some time to get my KT with new colors.
Use the following paint from Vallejo model air:
Yellow - 71025, green 71.020 and armour brown 71.041
Attachments
I am missing the numbers on turret and some wash & weathering, still a long way to go. I will use model wash (for light colors) to roadweels and surface primer (73.604) to the rest of KT, it will give the KT - a dusty surface, I hope.

Great KT Allan. Very beautiful lawn.
Those timbers and crates on rear chassis, are they tied above the engine room? Can you still do turret-rotation?
Best regards,

Lerh Chang :D

Hi Chang
The crates is not tied - they are loose on the engine room, just put on the deck for the picture.

I have not looked at the problem of the turret rotation, because my workshop is not very large, I have no room for a proper lift. But the problem lies in my transmitter, just a setup problem. :cry:

Best regards,

Allan

Hi Allan
I am slowly but constantly working at my King Tiger (2013) No 32. Your No 31 looks great! Now I have seen the Engine Intake Grills you got. They are not easy to work at. Therefore I would appreciate to get the address of the manufakturer of the Engine Intake Grills from you. Are there all six needed parts available and to a reasonable price?
Thank you for your answer.
Peter
