Carius Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hi folks, Just a few pics from my latest build, the 1/35 Dragon King Tiger. A simple build with some etched details and many improvements, Humbrol enamels. Light weathering. 57 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That is one very very nice build, in fact, it all looks brilliant, lots of lovely detail that you have done, especially camo and weathering really making this an excellent model.

Whitewolf Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That is very nice model indeed! Are the weld seams moulded as part of the kit, or did you add them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
593jones Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That's an outstanding piece of work, lovely paint job and not overboard with the weathering. Lovely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo1966 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Really nice build, It looks fantastic, so well done! A nice change also, as you don't see a lot of King Tigers on here. George 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks mate. The weld seams are part of the Dragon kit. I added a little more just at the rear of the tank. 3 hours ago, 593jones said: That's an outstanding piece of work, lovely paint job and not overboard with the weathering. Lovely!

The kit was mainly painted with airbrush, however, some parts with brush. TC Cesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another battle of the bulge King Tiger is coming, but with a different camouflage pattern and more aggressive weathering, a new concept in reality Take care Cesar Edited April 25, 2021 by Carius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edjbartos Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 That is one very nicely finished tank, your painting and weathering is superb, it really does look fantastic.

Another battle of the bulge King Tiger is coming, but with a different camouflage pattern and more aggressive weathering, a new concept in reality Take care Cesar SS Pzbt 501 Tigers appeared in differing camo schemes (6 tanks were supplied from another unit in a differing pattern) some hand painted, some sprayed, some with dots, others without. Some had the 1st SS Panzer Corps insignia painted on, others didn't, some had the national cross on the turret others didn't, and some did not have visible turret numbers! I recommend a book called 'Tigers in the Ardennes' by Gregory A Walden which refers to a number of individual tanks that took part from eyewitness counts clarifying the schemes worn and insignia visible, with interesting pics.

Harry Callahan Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hello Cesar Absolute stunning work, very impressive model and not tons of mud but subtle weathering, i like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Outstanding, so many nice touches. I've got the Takom KT in the stash, working it's way slowly to the top of the pile. Here's its brother in la Glieze, Belgian Ardennes a few years ago. My wife got me a battlefield tour for my 60th. Pete 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finishing another KT, with a different camouflage pattern, more vibrant colors, with stronger wear and dirt. It will be a great contrast, side by side with this one.
