As requested, comparison photos of King Tiger v. Tiger III. Keep in mind this is pretty unscientific, given there could be a difference in scales. Click on the photo for larger images.

The King Tiger is a Dragon kit I built several years ago. As noted on the instructions, the differences are not that much, but there will be a significant increase in the gun. I'm still waiting for the replacement kit parts, but have purchased two turned barrels, one from Aber and the other from Great Wall.
This is the Great Wall piece.

Well detailed and fits together like a glove, but will require some surgery to graft it to the kit.
This is the Aber version.

Excellent detailing and threaded muzzle brake, this is one cool barrel! I couldn't resist a shot as it compares to the overall length. More to come later today. Thanks for coming by!
