Phil, unfortunately all the Porsche turret king tigers must have zimmerit; the exception are the prototypes, one of which is in Bovington and that's the reason it hasn't zimmerit. Henschel turret ones can have or not zimmerit applied depending on the construction date.

its beast of a kit, I started the build on my channel recently. I can't wait to see what phil does with it because I cant do it justice,

It still amazes me when 2016 and 2017 kits come out with ridiculous price tag but they throw a 2-part barrel! The default should be a metal/aluminum barrel included in box. I respect AFV kits for that.

but this one has a one-piece gun, as did my version (production turret w/ zimmerit)

It's a fun build, I have gotten a decent amount of progress on a cutaway of the Henschnel version, though be careful with some of the assemblies, as I had issues with the upper hull being warped, and there are also some more issues with the suspension, and torsion bar swing arms being angled backwards, messing with the alignment of the road wheels. I haven't found a solution yet, but I think it will require removing material around the swing arms, or drilling out the ports in the hull.

Tommy Styrvoky heat them with a hairdryer just like resin should be able to strategy them out. Then let cool

Fire Fox I did heat it with a hairdryer, it fixed some of the warping, though what really helped is gluing the rear hull plate to the upper hull. there's still a small gap in the from hull though. www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=254179&page=1

Love Takom. My favorite brand as of current.

Hi, I never tried Takom kits so I would like to know your thoughts about it: Why did you consider it your favorite brand ? (fit, engineering, plastic quality, options range, .. etc)
@brettbricker18107 жыл бұрын
I think they are well thought out kits in a range of interesting subjects. Great detai, interesting options, clear instructions and quality plastic. As a modeler who is not a "builder" but more of a painter, I think they are a good fit for me. Are they perfect? No. But they are quite good. You get Dragon Models-like detail with close to Tamiya-like construction. I think that's a pretty good deal I have a couple blog posts written about the Takom Mk. A Whippet for further reference: docbrickblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/29/82816-whippet-good/ Hope that helps :)

Phil, you need to change the title to "Porsche" not "Pordch" lol. Thanks for the review
