As a relative late starter to modelling in general I originally "enjoyed" building wooden ships from kits, but was always frustrated by the small scale and therefore lack of detail these kits generally offered. I'm a lover of detail in models. There are one or two larger scale "sections", but I'd exhausted them all.
So I turned to the dark side! Plastic kits!!
The wealth of detail offered by such kits is enormous of course, and it wasn't long before I discovered the bestial 1:16 scale kits offered by the likes of Trumpeter. I previously built the Type 4 Medium Tank, but didn't take enough photos to warrant a build log.
Now I've lashed out (quite a big lash!) and acquired the Trumpeter King Tiger, the 2 in 1 version - you are offered a choice, within the kit, of either of two types of turret, Henchall or Porche - I shall decide when I get there!
The detail it offers is little short of amazing, but equally amazing is the fact very little of it will be seen when the kit is complete. I intend trying to do something about that...
First the (enormous) box, with a glimpse of the contents;
