When I get round to doing a King Tiger in due course, I may try this kit. I'm not keen on these kind of tracks, but from what I saw here, it will require some patience, but they don't look overly complicated.. As for the zimmerit, I have never built anything with zimmerit before, but I hope to do a Panzer IV soonish, using the Tamiya zimmerit decals, even though it's not a Tamiya kit. I will see what I think of that result, before I try to do any kind of scribing or use milliput. This was a great and informative video, it told me more or less all I needed to know about this kit, good things and bad.. It didn't put me off buying and building it. It was good to see all the different versions available as well, now I know what to avoid, as I would like to build something that actually existed, rather than something that could have been.. :) So yes, t5hanks for sharing your experience.. very helpful!! :)

I appreciate your comments a great deal :-) I am really glad you found the information useful! Using Tamiya zim decals might work just fine, if you're lucky. If all that is needed is a modification or two, cutting into the decals, then I think that would count as a success? The "good tracks" in three of the kits should definitely not be a problem, as long as you apply glue sparingly. Good luck with your Panzer IV!

Great video, and build!

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. Have you tried the KT kits from HB yourself yet?

[@HinterlandCustoms]

@@Spur1Denmark Sorry, was on main account. This is my hobby one. Anyway, I have built at KT (Takom) one with early "Porsche turret" , but I just ordered another one from HB that is also early Porsche turret. The Takom one I built was I believe first KT prototype with that turret. Also, thanks for clarifying for others about the name discrepancies, for years I thought it was Porsche, only to find out it was something different. Takom's is okay, but very excited to try a HobbyBoss kit! My KT build may be in my video listing if you were interested in looking.

[@Spur1Denmark]

Thanks, I'll take a look! Would be curious to see how Takom's builds, as I have an interior one of those in the stash as well. (I will be pacing myself for that one!)
