I have the Operation Unthinkable boxed set containing the British and German tanks. The GF9 Operation Unthinkable boxed set, the British versus German, contains 17 tanks, two of which are the King Tiger tank.
The Tiger II (or as was informally known to the Germans who fought in it, Königstiger), was a 70 tonne heavy tank.
This is the GF9 finished model.
This is the sprue.
As with the other Operation Unthinkable models, it was quite simple to construct.
The next stage will be a white undercoat.
Having constructed one of the King Tiger models, I started making the second one.
As with the other Operation Unthinkable models, it is quite simple to construct.
The next stage was a white undercoat.
Having given the tanks a white undercoat, I then used a brown spray to basecoat the underneath of the models.
The aim of this spray is to add shadow to the model rather than using the same paint across the whole of the model.
The next step was a coat of Army Painter Desert Yellow Spray.
The next stage will be brush painting the camouflage.
