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! Cool ThumpUp

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!? Drool ThumpUp

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. ThumpUp

Yes your right Kev along with the Tiger1 and Panther are my favouritesBigGrin having seen all three in the flesh as well they are huge pieces of engineeringBigGrin 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 beadsBigGrin
regards PhilCool

P.s i for one am glad your staying on the forum mate BigGrin
