I just entered SMA’s Big Spring Contest with this Dragon King Tiger with Zimmerit. I only have a 3 month window, so I’ll need to put everything else on hold and crack down on this one. It’s pretty much gonna be a down and dirty out of the box build.  |

Well here is the start of my King Tiger project. As with all my builds, I like to start with the basic hull construction to get any fit issues out of the way. That way I don’t have to worry about breaking any small detail off from a previous step. There’s a little filling that needs to be done. And clean up on the suspension parts and road wheels have begun.   |

Miniature zip lock bags work great for keeping parts separated and organized as they are being cleaned up. I found them at Wal Mart in the craft section.  |
