1/35 Tacom King Tiger W/Porsche Turret
As I said in the Hawk thread I have had little desire to build and even less desire to post anything.
I have however over the last few months slowly worked on this kit.
To date this is what I have accomplished.
And even some on the engine.
Overall not too many issues that were unknown. This build is part of a buddy build on Facebook.
All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

1/35 Tacom King Tiger W/Porsche Turret Its Back
Guess what is back on the bench.
Tacom 1/35 King Tiger.
Did just a little since the last time I showed it. Not much to be honest. Had to refresh my mind as to how I was going to tackle it.
One thing that is done is the cuts are made.
More to come.

1/35 Tacom King Tiger, Construction
Well my friends it is time for a brief update on the Tacom King Tiger.
The main construction seems to be complete. There are some smaller things here and there but the main construction is done.
Detail has been added to the lower hull rear plate.
The upper hull.
And both the inner and outer portions of the turret.
Since these pictures have been taken the upper hull, lower hull, and the turret have gotten some color. More on that later.

1/35 Tacom King Tiger Color
And now for a brief update on the Tacom King Tiger Porshe turret.
This post is all about color. Started painting using Mig Ammo paints. The names escape me for the moment but the pictures will tell the story.
First up was Stynlrez Metal Primer. Over that went the main color. It went down smooth.
Oops I forgot to show my added radio set. The pictures are not the best but they do show the headsets. All of the other pieces are the co-drivers side.
Now the second round of paint set the tri color scheme.
The last thing is the exhausts. First I used the Metal Stynlrez, after that dried I sprayed(psi was near 2 or 3) Model Master Metallic Burnt Iron. Shortly after that dried I stippled several pastel pigments to give it a bit of texture.
Now overall the paint job is not accurate. At least to the drawing in the instructions. I am ok with it and will proceed.
Next is to finish off the ammo racks for the hull and the turret. Then to glue it all together and install the tracks.

Time for another update.
The final update.
Yes she is finished.
Here is the finished Tacom King Tiger Porshe Turret, 1/35.
The main colors are from the Mig. There are a few AK as well as others as needed. The weathering is minimal. Wanted a display piece but not pristine.
Now there is an issue. Once I applied the dull coat and took the final pictures I noticed a great deal of silvering under the decals. Once seen I went back over with a sharp blade and then some decal solvent.
There you have it. Thank you all for following along.
