I finally decided to share this finished model, I try to make a polished metal finish, very reflective.
I really try to improve with this one, and honestly im very proud of the final result, I hope you guys like it as I am, one of my favorites kits I ever made
Hello everyone,
I’m currently building Tamiya’s 1/35 German King Tiger (Tiger II), and I noticed something that I’m not sure is correct.
As you can see in the pictures, the rear idler wheel on the right side does not touch/overlap the last road wheel, while on the left side the idler wheel does touch the last road wheel.
I’ve double-checked the instructions and I’m quite sure I didn’t make any assembly mistakes. I’ve also noticed that other people seem to have a similar difference on their builds.
So, is this actually normal for the King Tiger, or is there something wrong with my model/assembly?
I’d really appreciate it if anyone with experience with this kit or the real Tiger II could clarify this for me.
Thanks!
I think I’m gonna call this done. I want to make the seatbelts a little thinner, but I’m pretty happy with the results.This old girl was showing her age…poor fit and lots of injection marks and flash(and not the big pieces that are easy to deal with,I’m talking about little slivers between delicate parts).But all in all it was a nice kit and it’s great for someone who wants a bit of a challenge
