Almost modelling

Post by Tiggr »

....if you call adding zimmerit, metal towing shackles, brass anti mine grilles and eventually airbrushing the model that is ..... :haha:

Well, it would be rude not too - beings as this HL "Pro" version of a Henschel turreted production Koenigstiger is lacking in many autenticity respects.

So the tank has had a new 2000mAh battery (1700 just can't power the beast on traverse turns).
A new Torro speaker in place of the abysmal HL one.

Zimmerit, shackles and brass grilles added so far....

Yes Carl, I'm liking this camo scheme, but please tell me (I'm colourblind) what colours are on this Porsche turretted KT ?

I know the base is dunkelgelb (dark yellow) but have I got dunkelgrun (dark green) and rotbraun (red brown) too ?

I also like this scheme of the KT at the Kubinka Museum in Russia....

Both of them are yellow, green and brown.

How do you see colors? All black and white? I'm only trying to help not offend.
