 ==== In Progress Images ====
+Although this is a larger 1/72 kit, compared to something like a Panzer III or IV, the Tiger II is quite a simple, boxy shape, so the part count is fairly low. As a result it goes together fairly quickly and easily.
+Hull, roadwheels and hull details:

+Exterior details added, engine deck completed, lifting/towing eyes, cables all added. Not much left to do at this point:
