Lemon Senpai here. I have been a fan of military stuff longer than i have been a fan of anime. When I first watch Girls und Panzer, it wasn't long until I became a big fan of it. So quite a while ago I got myself a model tank kit from the series. The scale tank I will be building is the King Tiger or Tiger II from Kuromorimine.
I have not done something like this in a while. I was amazed at all the small bits and pieces it came with. And the amount of steps needed was just too much.
Here comes the start of the many steps involved in just the assembly of the tank. Looks like we will start from the bottom which is the wheels, lower body, and such.
Looks nice with the bottom and top parts of the main body put together. Just leaving it unglued for now.
Lets add some details for the upper body now
At this point, I permanently attached the bottom and top halves together.
Let's assemble the head, or turret, of the tank.
Almost there, just a peek of the turret and main body together. Both will stay unglued the whole time even after the whole thing is completed.
The last finishing touches on the tank and it is pretty much assembled. Other than painting and detailing, it looks pretty nice.
With that finished, here is most of the assembled tank. I had another scale tank i got somewhere else as reference.
I hoped you like my build so far. Stay tuned for part II. It will take a while because painting is not something im good at so it will take time.
