Meng king Tiger + Interior kit

[Pantherman]

That's comin together nicely. After the outside is finished I can't imagine that seam will be that noticeable. Plus I don't think there could've been a better location for it. Loving the look of this!

Thanks for the kind comments. Pantherman

Very nice and the fact that you will be able to lift the top to show the interior is perfect!
I assume you did not glue yet the outside details (tools, wires, etc.)?

Thanks. All the tools and cables are glued on as I will paint these up after the camo is finished. Pantherman

Finally got the lower hull and interior done, primed and base painted. You will have to forgive the hull seem as it's the best fit I could do because I want to lift the whole top section off to be able to see inside.

Working on the turret and track's now so slowly getting there. Pantherman

Got some of the tracks done but alot still to make up and paint.

Got the turret primed and base coated with the gun fitted. Just a few bits of touching in around the hatch area's then the camo can begin. Pantherman

Looking good man. I haven't pulled mine out. Are you using the kit tracks or aftermarket?

Going with the kit track's but they are a bit tricky as have to make them in sections, prime, spray and fit so you can connect the next sections. Pantherman

You are all probably getting very bored with this build but I'm slowly getting there in between the other builds that have crept up on me.

It's almost all assembled and base coated so I will start on the camo later today hopefully.

Plastic track's are a nightmare so I may have to invest in some metal ones for future builds I think. Pantherman

Good things take time and it is looking well worth the time.

Appreciate that, many thanks.

So I decided to brush paint the camo as it's going to be lightly sprayed with white for winter. Still got a few coats to do, then all the tools and extra tracks but it's moving along. Pantherman

This looks awesome. I love the paint scheme. The purple really makes it pop.
Really nice work.
