DML Tiger and Trumpeter KV-II.

[Uruk-Hai]

Hello fellows!

At a show over the weekend I went into a shopping frenzy and bought among other things Dragons Tiger I early and Trumpeters KV-II.

I have two questions about these kits.

What aftermarket engine net should I use for the Tiger?

The markings for the KV-II, can somebody place the place and date as well as suggesting other options for markning?

Cheers

Hi,
good buys you have, sir. I have those, too and both build up rather well. Tiger has some tweaks to look for. KV-II is late version so it can't be used as such for tank in June-41.
Tiger I is Initial, of course :) Anyway, I got Gum-Ka's net set and it fits very nicely. It has also some other useful parts included so I'd say it's worth the investment. Only downside is that AFAIK you can get it only from HLJ or R10. I tried PE screens by Eduard but I wasn't satisfied with fit.
I have no info for KV-II but I'd say it is very palin green with minimal or none markings. At least no slogans etc.

Hi,

for Tiger I there are sets from Lion Roar, Voyager, Eduard, Part and Aber, too For KV-2 sets are from Voyager? and Aber, at least. Aber says set is mainly for Tamiya but for other models too. Interesting I say :)
