Hard part is done. Nice clean work John.

Tracks assembled nicely John,the bigger Magic tracks aren't so tough to handle.

[deafpanzer]

You did great with the tracks!!!

[reserve]

Looks like a nice kit, and you're making it come together very well altho I expected no less.

The earlier exchange I found pretty funny; I love DS tracks and in most cases prefer them over magic tracks since I remember the old timey tricks to get them to sag correctly. Got to agree with Carl tho, some of the 70's era Tammy tracks were pretty awful, remember the ones included in their old Tiger 1 kit?

John , those tracks are the best looking plastic set i've seen . But i'm heavily invested in Friuls now . So i must remain a Friul snob .

[bigjohn]

LOL Carl..........Thanks man!!

[johnt]

Nice job with those tracks BJ. I always like to get the wheels and tracks done, can be the more tiresome part of the build for me.

Cheers
JT

[bigjohn]

Thanks for stopping in and having a look JT!

[eastrock]

Bj, looks great man! Will be checking also on paint :-D that reminds I have to go back on my entry before the weekend vacation ride.

Andy I could exchange those DS tracks with Fried Pigs legs or goats bile soup lol I also won't spend $45 to $50 for tracks I could grab 2 trumpeter kits or 1 dragon M1A1 SEP

cheers!

Mmmmmhmmmmmm, I love me some King Tiger builds!

[bigjohn]

I couldn’t help my self, I needed a paint fix…………

Base coat of Tamiya Hull Red to try and warm up the dark yellow a bit.

[bbd468]

No I haven't. I’m usually the first one to preach about using the same manufactures thinner with their paints too!

[eastrock]

Sometimes its great to mix with other brands its either you hit or miss

Cheers!

[ceresvesta.]

BigJohn!

WoWeeWOW! this is a nice and crispy thing to see! I must concur with Gary`s sayings: It is a fine coat of sweet, sweet XF-9 you got there.

Now I need more of the same
Phil.

[Leon]

Good to see paint on the KT BJ.

[bigjohn]

Thanks Fellas!!!!!

Dark Yellow (XF-60) is on!

I don’t think it worked like I wanted it to, I had the Dark Yellow a little too thick. I was aiming for some of the red to bleed through. But, I can live with it.
