Kingtiger completed for the "Steel Cats" GB

Thanks Dave.  Kind of weird talking about a tank with you that's not a Panther

I would have to look back to see if Wout said both sides or not.   The instruction sheet with the PE set has info that said they were only there on tanks built after late '44.  The sheet is a bit confusing on that area so it's hard to tell if you are meant to add to both side or not.  I will say that the Dragon kit the sections that are on the engine deck molded on both sides.  But heaven knows... just cuz Dragon did it it don't make it right.  But anyway... that's the reason I put 'em on both sides.

Marc - It really does look great. I've come to expect that from ya! I'm impressed especially with the advancement in your soldering skills. Something I need to get off my butt and try.

As for any observations... I have 2.

1. I couldn't tell if you painted over the driver periscope or not. The best pic I had to form an opinion from was the 4th down and it looked yellow.

2. I know from MSC that you added the fuel vent tubes (I think) from comments Wouter made.  In my limited resources I can't find a KT that has that feature on the left side. For my future build... is it supposed to be on both sides? Were they commonly missing? They look awesome though. A nifty detail that adds a lot to the build - like the direct sight on the turret roof. 

Doog, RB  thanks guys.  I am with you on that doog.  Thats why I left the last track pins uncut so i can take them off and dust things up.  Waiting to see the final color of the base.

Zounds! Fine build.

Marc, a superb model. They don't come any nicer than this. Great weathering and chipping too. The only thing I would have to look hard to critique would be that I would have dirtied up the wheel faces just a little bit more, but that's just me.

A killer cat, that's for sure. :)

Thanks Tim.  But if it's free... it ain't stealin' 

This is the kit I used...

Also, what kit is this from?

Awesome work.

I am build the Academy King Tiger and might steal your great paint scheme and chipping.

Eric, The thanks should be coming from me to you for running yet another great GB.  You sir are the King of GB's.

J75, ya know... with the Friul track, it actually kind of is

Anthony, thanks my friend.

Bill, that makes 4... a GB record for me.  Building all these cats I was starting to feel like one of the nutty old ladies shut ins with a house full of cats.

Another magnificent build rolls off your bench Marc! Definitely one to be proud off. How many contributions does this make to that particular GB?

Great piece of work Marc,the hits just keep on coming !!

Sweet KT Marc! It definitely looks heavy

Like your other entries Marc, this is absolutely superb. From the tools to the weathering, everything looks just right.

If I have one critique, it's that you won't be building anymore entries for the GB. LOL  That's our loss for sure!

It's been a pleasure have watched your WIP's and i thank you for the taking the time to post them all.
