[pickelhaube]

I wish this had come up before I made mine .

That was soooooo much work.

I am in !!

[tmanthegreat]

Skorzeny, please count me in as well. Where does one send payment or what is the process to purchase one of these, when they are ready?

[slogan]

I am in for a King Tiger.

[grockwood]

I am in also.

[normandy]

Herr Skorzeny, its looking good!

[[CAT]CplSlade]

Turret is too wide and mantlet is offset to far to the right.

I assume they will be double-checking their measurements before making any molds?

[normandy]

Hopefully they will double-checking their measurements, having had experience with 21-century toys in 1/32...
I think so.

From top and side pics you can't tell but from front and back you can see the turret is wider than it should be, probably it's only effect of the 3D image.

The mantlet on the other hand it is offset, no doubt about it.

Anyway I trust the Project Engineer will take care of those details after Skorzeny's comments about these issues.

was worth all your work Matts, we today have both versions of the King Tiger.

Since the golden times of 21 Cent

[skorzeny]

Thank you all for the interesting!

Thanks "[CAT]CplSlade"]!!! the reason I m not post yet in the Facebook page . is that I need you all opinions

and I was wondering when you(CAT]CplSlade) would give me your seal of approvement since you are renown by the good quality. accuracy

and a high standard in this forum

I noticed the (mantlet is offset too far to the right.) and I told the Engineer about it in the same day He told me this isn't

the final design, its not big deal to fix. about the (Turret, is too wide) Good point I had to look for one 1/16 tiger 2 to see those details

Thanks, CAT]CplSlade good points

[normandy]

Thanks for the update Skorzeny, I'll take 2. I voted for 1 in the poll but I can't change it. So two King Tigers for me!

[ben121995]

I haven't been on here in a long while but I'm glad I came back when I did! I've always wanted a 1/18 Königstiger to sit alongside my 1/18 tiger 1 and panther. Curious question though, is it possible I could order a tiger in a simple two tone camouflage scheme such as this late war pattern? Or are you set on the single color?

[normandy]

I think one reason to go with the single color was to keep the cost of production down.

[Eddy10440]

I think one reason to go with the single color was to keep the cost of production down.

That is correct, Skorzeny confirmed that to me.

[[CAT]CplSlade]

Also, that camo scheme was never actually used. The dark green base color overlaid with hard-edged rotbraun and dunkelgelb begun in December 1944 was the last scheme ordered by the RLM before the war ended. The July 1945 configuration is the paint equivalent of a paper panzer.

[skorzeny]

[normandy]

Herr Skorzeny, it looks like we are getting closer to this second 1:18 King Tiger.
Thanks for all your hard work!

[maritime96]

I had voted for one, but I think you missed my name on the list. I might have voted over on the Fighting118th page as well, but I do not remember.

[grockwood]

There is a question mark after my name :grockwood 1?. I am comfirming that I want 1.

Thanks.
