It is a very cool kit to build. It’s detail is very good and has good potential for interior detail. The King Tiger II also comes with 88mm rack’s. I used photo etched parts from Eduard and a Jordi Rubio gun barrel. The Zimmerit is from Cavalier and fit’s very good.

I also used Andrea Miniatures machine gun rounds. These add a nice touch to any model,

 

The tow cables were scratch built frome small wire. Tracks are Friulmodel (these guys have to make the best tracks on the market).

 

 

 

King Tiger IIl used Tamiya XF-60 & XF-64 for the camouflage. I air brushed “132” on back of the turret.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weathering was done with enamels & pastels and the mud was made from Tamiya flat earth, Tamiya putty, and static grass.
