Konigstiger by Gary Boggs

This is the recent 1/35th scale release King Tiger Late w/zimmerit by Dragon. It is built to represent a tank from Stab./s.H.Pz.Abt. 505, 3./s.H.Pz.Abt. 505 number 321 commanded by Lt. Erwin Volker in the area of Gross Blumenau, Germany in April of 1945. (from "Konigstiger in Color" by Waldemar Trojca)

The turret area without zimmerit was achieved with a Dremel tool and patient sanding. The decals for the kit were sourced from extra decals from the Cyber Hobby kit that depicts a tank from this company.

Painting was done with an Iwata airbrush using Tamiya acrylics. Finishing was achieved using various Tamiya, Vallejo, Mig, and other oil resources.

Tamiya 1/48 BF109 E3 - Part I

Seeing so many great aircraft models at Eagle Quest got me in the mood to try another WWII era aircraft. Where the Panther is my favorite armored vehicle, the 109 is my favorite fighter, so I thought I'd give it a go with the Tamiya BF109 E3 pretty much straight out of the box. The only aftermarket I will be using is the Eduard photo-etch seat belts kit, as the base kit has nothing to represent these.

First step is done - assembling and painting the cockpit. I will be using a wash on the cockpit in a few days after the future has had a chance to cure. The Eduard photo-etch seat belts kit is a gem.
