Dragon Kingtiger-Completed 1/15

[Tojo72]

Here is a build that I am working on know.The kit had lots of extras,the seller even threw in some Lion Roar fenders for free that I will try out.Still got the kit fenders if that doesn't work.
Right know in the process of cleaning up some ejector marks on the spare treads that someone kindly pointed out to me,and assembling road wheels.

... A Sherman! .... But that being said this looks like a great kit and your making short work of. Molded in Zimm is nice.

Been working away on this one,camo painted,details painted,decals on.Fenders and hatches are not attached.Made a mess of the free metal fenders, those are the kit parts.No washes or weathering yet.Next up assembling the Magic Tracks.Thanks for checking in.

Here is my process for Magic Tracks,no jigs or specialized tools.First I lay out one entire side minus 2 links,the King Tiger tracks didn't need any cement,they stuck together pretty good.I use two straight edges to straighten and flatten them.Once they are laid out I apply the cement,Tamiya Extra Thin.I allow to dry for 30 minutes.


After 30 minutes I install the run around the running gear.The drive sprocket and idler wheels are not glued,the road wheels are.I allow it dry overnight.


Next day I remove the dried run,I painted them with Tamiya Dark Iron for my base coat,next I will weather them and reinstall them,finally closing it at the bottom and touching up.
