Whoa, Jussek: I think your KT looks fine. And I sure do understand the difficulty of painting eyes! I wonder if anyone here on RCTW has tried the eye decals that are available.

Here are the Peddinghaus and Archer web pages for eyes (eek!). There are many available through online hobby stores and eBay.

Merry Christmas and Good Afternoon!
I have used those eye decals a couple of times ...then promptly forgot about them due to the nerve wracking fiddling to get them in place! If you thought the stock painted Taigen figures looked bad then just mess up a set of those eyes on your figure. It's a Hobby Horror Show! ;o)

I am absolutely with Painless, Decal eyes :thumbdown: versus painted eyes :thumbup: , a similar comparison is Treadplate decal :thumbdown: versus 1mm Plasticard Treadplate. :thumbup:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Late to the big dance as always! :{ :/ From curiosity a while back, I weighed 308 and she came in at 17 pounds on the head. Thats a Taigen, all metal, mid version Tiger 1 with BB and recoil for those wondering. Elmod Fusion Pro, Baroness 2 smoke unit, Visaton FRS 7 speaker and enclosure, and lightweight 3D printed gear covers. Can't forget the 5,000 MaH NiHm battery too. Just enough of external add ons to make all you "historical purists" cringe! I just call her "Miss Piggy".

Cheers,
Eric.
