More progress on the 1/4 scale king tiger. Wheels are finally done other than waterproofing and paint. I cant wait for my suspension components to be done so I can mount these guys. The hull had all imperfections and holes filled in and then was primed. More detail shall be added as I go on. My main focus will be the track and drive system after I finish the entire hull.
This tank should be operational closer to summer. At least that is my goal, we'll see. http://kingtigerproject.webs.com/DSCF0186.JPG http://kingtigerproject.webs.com/DSCF0193.JPG http://kingtigerproject.webs.com/DSCF0190.JPG On Feb 25, 8:02 pm, Tango71 <[email protected]> wrote: > From what I read the real thing moved by train or by itself.
