Hi, here is my current build, hope to finish it in the weekend.

It is Dragon kit 6232 with the tracks of Dragon kit 6312, star decals of Operation Nordwind (amazing decals) and Griffon photoetched fenders.

It is my incorrect representation of Kurt Sowa Kingtiger 222 in Stavelot. Dunkelgelb from Ak, Tamiya red brown, olive green for the camo and buff for the pre-dusting. Weathered with oils and enamels from Ak.

cheers!

WOW!! i love the 4th photo of those tracks explain me how you do that?
step by step? please :);)
The rest looks ok except your tracks on the last photo's
All those nice weathering is gone now on those tracks if you compare the photo's nr4 with the last one.

The base weathering of the tracks is, three earth tones (earth+kursk earth+dust) of enamels with a little plaster and just blend them. It is pretty simple! In this case the tank is in a muddy terrain so it must have muddy tracks, the final touchups to be done are the metallic shine and some dry/humid mud for contast, but they will remain dark and wet. In cased you are interested the thick wet mud is Mig Prod resin mixed with dark and fresh mud from Ak, fine grain dirt and gloss varnish.

Very nice work indeed. I just recently purchased the Tamiya King Tiger and this is making me want to get started on building it. Once again great job.
