Interesting kit, nice and large and extensive - to me it doesn't look like nearly enough track links, usually you get enough in a kit to have on the hull and turret.

nice review
i think that even the afv noobies can have good fun with this
as for the ring shaped decals i think it is better to use the paint that you have used for the large parts of green
and as far as i know the circles have been painted on and not sprayed on
and there were 2 markings on the upper glacis of this vehicle
there was a dark red skull and crossbones and a reversed swastika in white
it did not have any other marking on the outside
the actual colors are :
ral 7028 dg III dunkelgelb aus 1944
ral 6003 olivgrün
both are colors that came in use at the end of 1944
the "octopus" king tiger was a one of a kind and was used and taken out near the town of Kassel
so that in all should make a hell of an interesting build i think so good luck on that one (and all others of course)
see ya

Great info, thanks for that Mark

o yeah about that
i was wrong the olive green was is use since feb. 43
but was in use till the end unlike the former standard dark yellow and some other colors
