Hi Keith,
It looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing these photos.
Are you planning to install motion/sound/smoke packs and let her moving around, or just let her stay on where she is?

Even a display-only model, she is about 140 kg. it's amuse me how did you move her at home, on carpet?

Regards,
Lerh Chang

Thanks for the post Chang.

Can you help me as I was trying to find the most up to date picture of your KT build in either a gallery or post?

For this year she will remain static. I pinned the suspension arms etc as per Dale Jordon's build so it's built to run, but we will see. It kind of looks nice dominating the room. I glass-beaded the tracks to get the sooty protective coating off, and use cardboard (just in case) when moving it around to protect the carpet.

If I keep this one static it will give me an excuse to pick up a future kit from Armortek and scale Maybach.

That's a great looking Tiger II Keith

I must admit I was a little worried when I realised it seemed to be upstairs

Hi Adrian,

It had to partially come apart for that move! But actually, it only took about 4 hours, including re-assembly.

My alternative, if it is to be a runner, is to keep it in the basement. It will (just barely) fit through a window, and then out into the open air for some tempting fun.
