Making good progress with this Phil even with the amount of corrections and extra work that you're having to do. It's going to be superbly detailed when finished and I'll be watching all of the way.
Well done, keep it up!

Kev the Modeller wrote:Excellent work Phil, I can see this is going to be a super-detailed model of the amazing King Tiger! A lot of work for you but boy will it be worth it in the end!?
How did you find those Archer casting numbers? They look to be very sharp in definition. Did they go on easily?
Keep up the good work, will be following all of the way.
Kev
Yes your right Kev along with the Tiger1 and Panther are my favourites having seen all three in the flesh as well they are huge pieces of engineering and the work continues update to follow .as for the Archer transfers i would say they are simple to use but don`t over work them ,try to get them right the first time as they will come apart, as i found using the resin weld beads regards Phil P.s i for one am glad your staying on the forum mate COMING SOON =1/72 Italeri diorama`s Battle for the Reichstag and Stalingrad battle at the tractor factory 1/16 Trumpeter King Tiger with loads of extras ON THE GO= refurbishment of 1/25 Tamiya tiger 1 , amt Star trek kits and space 1999 models
