I'm not really into "What Ifs" or nonservice machines but when I saw this, man I just had to have one. :o

The huge box is just full of goodies and really has two kits knitted into one,the transporter and the cannon.
Image
The model can be built in one of two ways with the gun mounted or unmounted. I choose to go with the mounted version
because it's my understanding that high command decided to drop the unmounted idea, it took to much time to unload and load the gun.

The lower tub assembly is pretty straight forward and they utilized King Tiger parts as much as possible. That's a 1/35th

Very nice detailed engine,transmission and final drive too.

Starting to take shape now.

There were no tools or maintenance equipment with the kit so I dug around in the spares box and found what was needed.

All in primer and ready to start painting. Not sure just yet as to how but it's ready. :?: :?: :?:
Image

Very nice kit with lots of knock-out holes in some places to be filled. :roll: No problems with the fit of parts.

I know they've been posted on other sites but I figured I would get the ball rolling around here by posting them here too.
They're not what I call build blogs but more of a update to how I spend my time at the bench.

And you're Welcome
