01 - Assembling the King Tiger

Eduard PE Zimerit from Hell! 

original cables of the kit 

replaced by steel cables for fishing 

I was planning on making the full interior of the engine compartment and let him open 

I had already made the radiators in scratch with the remainder of the Pz.IV engine compartment fans that I did not use 

beginning the installation of Eduard's Zimmerit in PE, this kit returned to the box for a few months because of this Zimmerit, gave a great dismay until I had the courage to resume the project! 

the burrs that were left over a lot on the sides, the process was basically aligning each panel, gluing it in place, let the Araldite dry well for 24 hours, then file until it minimizes without damaging the side panel and slightly bend over the subsequent 

details of the rear hatch, which in the end ended up being glued due to the total absence of details inside the tower! 

Zimmerit almost finished! 

how the glue was made so as not to lose alignment! 

I didn't like the finish of this front MG zimmerit, but even with the countless attempts I tried at the time, I found the least worst of the finishes I could do at that time! 

zimmerit finished! mantlet is not glued, just dry-fit 

covering the gaps with milliputty and finishing was terrible in my opinion, but it was the best I had managed to do! 

making the effect of fall in the cables 

starting the installation of tools and accessories on the sides of the vehicle 

small dry-fit to see how things are going! and ready for the paint process in the next album 

commander's first visit to his future vehicle, following the construction! 

I forgot to assemble the LBL before applying the primer, so a little post primer return in the kit! 

Lets build this LBL tracks! it's time to stop forcing those crap DS Tracks down our throats! 

tracks done.... now back to the paint album! hehehe 

extra wheels and tracks ready for the primer!
