Dragon King Tiger with Zimmerit

[Big-John]

Here is my entry into the Big Spring Contest. It’s the Dragon King Tiger Henschel Turret with Zimmerit.

My wife bought this kit for me for Christmas a couple years ago from Cajun model supply’s eBay store.

I've got this kit in my stash. This will be a great build!

 

[Big-John]

Well here is the start of my King Tiger project. As with all my builds, I like to start with the basic hull construction to get any fit issues out of the way. That way I don’t have to worry about breaking any small detail off from a previous step. There’s a little filling that needs to be done. And clean up on the suspension parts and road wheels have begun.

Nice start and pics!

Nice kit, and a great start! It's bee a while since I've built a Dragon tank kit. They are really awesome kits from what I remember, lots of parts.

Miniature zip lock bags work great for keeping parts separated and organized as they are being cleaned up. I found them at Wal Mart in the craft section.

 

[Grendels]

Nice start!

 

[Biskup]

Sweet

Its been a very busy week end and didn’t get as much done to the king tiger as I wanted too, but none the less, I have an update.

All the suspension components and road wheels are done and dry fitted to the model. They will be taken back off for painting.





I also made a start on cleaning up the track links and test fit a few to see how they are going to be to work with. So far I’m pretty impressed with the track.
