Dragon King Tiger (Porsche Turret) in 1/72 Scale

Another Dragon King Tiger, this one with the Porsche turret.  This is an early boxing, the hull pieces are metal.  These fit together fine but required superglue to attach the other pieces and increased the challenges with drilling and filing.  Only fifty Porsche turret King Tigers were produced and all of them carried Zimmerit.  This was my first attempt at reproducing the Zimmerit finish, I used Mr. Surfacer and a #11 Exacto knife blade with the tip clipped off.  I left off the mud skirts and finished it to match a Claes Sundin profile.  Another nice kit with no surprises.
