My first tank (though I build model ships). Video clips and pics.
Great kit. Made mods, additions: remote working lights, smoke, black powder firing cannon, etc etc.

Genius
i like your thinking on everything you have done to the KT, making everything accessable and easy to use and still having a great looking tank at the end, keep up the good work

Brilliant Dan, I really like the coloring and will follow your lead. The added features are well laid out and compact,very good use of available space.The gun speaks for it;s self, excellent work.

Exellent work on the KT you have thought of everything, What did you use for the firing cannon I have a hilti gun and thought about firing the blanks up the barrel but the kick back on the gun when you use it is too strong it would break the turret.
