Tamiya Königstiger of the Battle of the Ardennes, 1/35


Recommended Posts

I built this 1/35 scale Königstiger a couple of years ago from an old but a very detailed and high quality Tamiya kit. The model depicts the tank number 008 that belonged to the Kampfgruppe Peiper in the battle of the Ardennes. On December 20, 1944 the tank hit a land mine and had to be abandoned near the village of Trois Ponts.

 

The kit was very detailed and the fit was perfect. I applied additional details to the model, e.g. Friulmodel tracks, an aluminium barrel and two photoetch detail sets from Eduard. I painted the camo with Vallejo acrylics and weathered the tank with oil colours, Mig pigments and Tamiya weathering sets.

Magnificent Tiger. The cam is fantastic and those tracks look so real.
