I suspect that's a common issue with Dragon kits

Tigers everywhere! Not that it's a bad thing...looking forward to seeing this one take shape, off to a good start already.

Hey Luigi thanks i think with the directions its the older style of directions that are colored and they just added all the new stuff with the kit on it.

Hey Bill no its not a bad thing. I cannot get enough of these big kats its coming along hopefully i will have some more pics up later today or this weekend.

Nice one mate, I got the same kit with the Porsche turret, it's a very nice kit indeed. Personally I think the zimmerit is a bit too pronounced, especially hard for the decals, but then again, it was one of Dragons first zimmerit offerings. Nevertheless a great kit. Looking forward to next update

Cheers

Hi Phil, nice work so far. The exhaust guards are perfect!

A nice kit with poor instructions -it's definitely a Dragon kit then! ;D

Hey guys thanks yeah there are alot of KT's out there but more the merrier. Ok hey are a few more pics the tracks are done and i have to say they went together like a dream with no problems but to this day i still don't know how many links i put together per side but they do fit. I also put the turret together and started doing the PE on it and so far so good well i hope you like.

[bigjohn]

Man thats a good looking kit!!! Tracks look really great!

[panzerman75]

Hey John thanks man appricate the kind words. Those tracks were by far the best magic tracks that i have ever worked with, they snapped together i test fitted them and then glues them in place
