1/16 King Tiger full RC

[AndyArgent.]

Hi guys, this is a full working RC KT that i have been working on for some time now .It is still not finished and does have some inaccuracies because of the RC nature like the screws holding on the skirts which have to stay for maintenance and the track inner detail as they are working tracks along with a few other inaccuracies for the maintenance of this beast. What i have done is i have added cast steel effects to turret and hull,weld beads, torch cutting marks , rolled steel effects, cast effects to exhaust shrouds and cast effects to the exhausts. I have painted it in red oxide primer then added the camo colours. Then this is a labour of love on the weathering side. I am enjoying it though as every session reveals a more realistic look to the model.

Cool!
I've been meaning to repaint and weather my 1/16 tiger I for a while. This may give me some tips .


By the way, who is it made by? Tamiya, vstank or other?

[AndyArgent.]

This is the old Tamiya one.

LOVE IT. the scars ans schratches are top notch.
as for the fender's , I found some tiny screws at my hobbytrain shop, and closed the 'big holes'andre drilled for the new ones.

I have one my self :-)



Do you use it , ore is it static ?

Cool idea with the relocation of the screws. This is a full working one but has never been run yet

Yeah I thought I had a pic of them, but you can barly see them in the pic. If it's the old one without speaker and sound , you might want to have a look at a clark board if you want to improve it :-)

Thanks mate I probably won't improve this one as I can't see me ever using it.I have a 1/6 tiger 1 that I never use either .That one has every option going.

Come on!!! We are not that stupid!!! We all know you took the pictures at Bovington Tank museum... no way it is a model. Man, it looks freakin' real! You are the man!
