Hi Guys
I recently bought another few tanks as i have missed them recently with all the trucks & rat rods etc.
So i picked up a HL KT with Porsche turret that was made up of different colour parts haha.
So far i have partially stripped the tank and primed, the whole tank, although i didn't remove the wheels. Everything is in red primer, although the tracks i have built up with various colours of grey, silver, red, orange and yellow and then finally sprayed lightly with black. This works quite nicely when you start running them as the colours scrape through and gives the tracks a good mottled rusty appearance and gets better with age and use.
It doesn't look like much but here it is currently
It does have smoke and sound and it actually seems to run really well. I like it, but i want it to look the part.
Now the questions, did the KT have Zimmerit applied with the Porsche Turrets? I heard somewhere that 3 Porsche Turret KT's did not have it applied, but i cannot find many details
What sort of camo pattern should it have?
As for the running, i am going to leave the motors and tracks and wheels stock, unless of course i break something. It just works well and it is good fun, i just want something for some model demos to start with, without breaking the bank.
