Thank you, Simon! It's been a great kit to come back to. My late father purchased it for me back in the early 2000's so I finally decided to order all the needed goodies to work on it.

Nice progress!!
Like to see how it grows😄
Good looking pre shading and nice chipping effects
I expect great things from you😉
I've also built this kit a long time ago- my 1st king tiger ever😁
Tamiya's quality is always astonishing, i've built a m4 from the early 80s, and this one could keep up with the 2010 release from dragon!

Usually just the area I place transfers, Ben. Then I matte varnish the entire model before going to the next steps. Thank you again Simon!

Awesome paint work, and fantastic looking camouflage scheme 👍
What brand and colours did you use for the camo?

Thanks guys! James, the paints I used for the camo were as follows: Mission Models Dunkelgelb 1944, Mig/Ammo Olivgrun Opt 2 and Mig/Ammo Rotbraun. I tweaked the Rotbraun slightly with a few colors to match some reference photos I've seen. Then I went back after the camo was dry and sprayed a lightened mix of the camo (Added some dunkelgelb to the mix) just to get some fading and highlights.

great results, mate!
the mud effects seems really nice, - soon it's time to put it into a dio 😉

Thanks again everyone for all the kind words! I posted up a poorly drawn illustration for the diorama idea I've had planned. It'll of course have a lot of tweaking. But the general idea is for the King Tiger to be one of the last few retreating from France to Belgium around 1944.

Looking forward to your dio. 🙂 Sounds like an interesting setup.
