I like the pre made Tuna salad cups. my wife rolls her eyes every time she sees me wash them out and carry them off to hide in my man cave. I now have half of the road wheels cleaned up..........

Road wheels are the price one must pay on a project like this, best to get it out of the way right up front! nice progress BJ!

Thanks fellas,
I've got all the road wheels cleaned up. I like cleaning road wheels as much as I enjoy cutting 50 pound hogs. A little more putty work on the hull and I'll be ready to start sticking some parts together.
I coulds got a little more done tonight, but swamp people was on the tube.

Its been a very busy week end and didn’t get as much done to the king tiger as I wanted too, but none the less, I have an update. All the suspension components and road wheels are done and dry fitted to the model. They will be taken back off for painting. I also made a start on cleaning up the track links and test fit a few to see how they are going to be to work with. So far I’m pretty impressed with the track.

Marc Yeah, the magic tracks are not bad at all. I have some Friuls and MK tracks, but I'm saving them for some other KT projects.

Same here... love my iPhone too. Much easier just to upload pics directly to PB. Your tracks look great too... in that case I won't mind using them unlike my Tiggy and its DS tracks. Believe it or not somebody brought my unused DS track for $10 on eBay not long time ago.
