Peter´s KT. 1 st test run

Postby Peter Quambusch » Sat Sep 10, 2011 4:48 pm

I used one of the (very few) nice and warm days and took my KT out for its first test run.... It is still lacking some details, but I hope you like it so far...

Hi Paul,

yes :lol: , test run was successful. Tracks needed some more tightening, but that was all……
Now I need to work on the turret interior (gun elevation, blank fire, etc), than on the turret roof weld seems, than some more paint work, markings, tank crew and their equipment, ……..
Once I´ll be done, I´ll post some more pics of the completed tank :D

Hi Peter

Nice looking Tiger II. I bet it was good to see it rolling under it's own power. Well done.

Keep the pictures coming please.

Kind regards
Tim
