And so it begins...yet another updated World War II design for the Asiarama.  And yes, its getting the same treatment as the Ferdinand, lots of sheet plastic and "bolt-on" armor.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Because I'd rather not let parts go to waste, I changed out the exhaust system with that from the Ferdinand kit's non Zimmerit-coated spare.  Plus it helps disperse the thermal signature.

Found a couple small areas that'll need a dollop of PSR before being painted with Krylon rattlecan ultraflat Sand.  But progress!

Looks pretty martial, like the Elefant. I just wonder where or better on what THIS is supposed to roll on? With even more added armor etc. the ground pressure must be astronomical! I might suggest a modified running gear, e .g. with widened tracks? Even the real Königstiger (and the Elefant, too) was severely hampered by its weight - and the high silhouette won't help either...  :rolleyes:

Yes it is.  Very nice kit, but I do wish Dragon/Cyber Hobby had included an aluminum barrel

And wait for the pending backstory when its finished.
