King Tiger by Terry McKeown

 

Terry embellished Tamiya's easy-to-build King Tiger with aftermarket Tamiya link tracks, photoetch, and 3-d printed tools.

He finished it with Tamiya acrylic paint, oil washes, and pin washes, and pigments on the lower hull and tracks.

 This is the 1990's vintage King Tiger by Tamiya finished with Tamiya paints and oils for weathering. Terry says it was a nice kit to build and detail...typical Tamiya fit, although the suspension left something to be desired. He added 3D printed tool clamps to dress it up a bit. The base is by Verlinden.

Terry built this Dragon Henschel-turreted King Tiger with zimmerit out-of the-box. But given the amount of photo etch and the indy link tracks (90 per side) that are included,  OOB is no small feat. Oddly, there was no machine gun with the kit and Terry had to source one elsewhere. He painted the kit with Tamiya and Vallejo  (for the weathering) acrylics and used Archer transfers for the s.Pz.Abt 505 "Charging Knight" markings on the turret.  Evergreen rod was used for the antenna and the model was placed on a Verlinden base.

Terry built the Dragon King Tiger with the addition of Cavalier sheet zimmerit enhanced with Tamiya grey putty. Tamiya acrylic paints were used to finish the vehicle as a member of Schwere Panzer-Abteillung 506.
