Good start Scott. Dont forget to clean up all the flash and Sprue gate marks......

That KT sitting across the hull in the first photo, Is it a 1/35 or a 1/48 scale?

Hi ian the king tiger sitting on the hull is 1/35 just added it in for a sense of scale.

It really brings home the size doesn't it, it's OK saying 1/16 but then you think 1/12 motorbike model, 1/24 car model, hmmmm maybe not that big

[Guest]

Hi Scott

You've got a great kit there and I'm sure you'll do it proud. I don't know if you're interested but there's been a super detailed build of this kit published in AFV modeller mag. Looks an awesome kit with plenty of detail and the author has taken it to the extreme.

Good luck with the build

I bet it was fun doing all that Zimmerit with filler. I can imagine that it was drying up on you as fast as you could get it on.

I have seen Milliput used to great effect for this. Sets harder, (and slower), It also sticks like #### to a blanket and does not shrink or crack up.

Thats is one big tank!

I have been drooling over a 1/16 Leopard but they are just silly money.

Looking good Scott.

I do like the zimmerit effect you`ve got Scott for those not familiar with zimmerit it was just a form of paste that was put on to stop magnetic mines being attached and within reason was slapped on any old way , I think you`ve got this looking very nice mate very realistic
