Day 1220 and I think she's finished

Three years, seven months and a few days now since I started building Trumpeter's 1:16 King Tiger.
A sustained push over the last couple of days brings me to a point where she's just about ready - I think!

Without doubt this has turned out to be the project of my life. Fortunately the requirement for constant updates in the magazine has helped me stick with it even when I would rather be building some of the exciting new releases that have come along since 2009.

I would like to thank everyone who has taken an interest in this too - the enthusiasm and encouragement of all of you has helped keep me on track and If you can spot anything I have missed which is entirely possible please pipe up. (There are a few minor repair to the interior still to be made) I am confindent that she's as accurate as she can be and if you need your King Tiger servicing - I'm your man happy.gif
