Hesslers "King Tiger"

[Tojo72]

I modelled Col Hessler's from "The Battle of the Bulge".I used Revell's M-47 and a Verlinden figure.I kept it fairly clean,like they just left the depot.an earth wash from Mig Productions,a darker wash I made for recesses and details,and some dusting of pigments.It was an OK kit to build,certainly not up to Tamiya or Dragon standards,but I got it done.I also used the rubber band tracks the kit provided,and they proved acceptable for this type of vehicle,although I am not crazy about them.It was a fun project,thanks for looking:

Great concept. It reminds me of the resin kit of the T34 turned into a Tiger from Kellys' Heroes/Saving Pvt. Ryan. Not my favorite movie though. I like"Battleground" more for the Bulge. Very realistic,according to Vets.
