You can. Perhaps stick with the 85 for now and get a feel for the finer side of things by doing upgrades. It how I started. That white on in the photo started like just like yours. It now has a complete metal Torro lower hull including all wheel and tracks an infra red battle system an ibu and a half decent paint job. The green one is home build but it’s pretty much what you would get from a wooden box Torro t34/85 even down to the paint job. It has been weathered and given a different number.

But I will take a few close ups of each for you a little later

Yea I agree, knowing I can expand what I already had to different models is pretty exciting. The green one is the look I’m going for and similar markings so more of that one would be awesome. Thanks again!

A little tip that was an idea my dad had with his king tiger that I stole. For the snow it’s self that you can see on the fuel tanks rather than shelling out on snow pigment I took myself down to the local Superdrug and got me some talcum powder. It gives a good enough effect it’s cheaper and you don’t need to glue it on. You can add it smudge it around with a make up brush or when you get fed up of it it will just brush off. Again with a makeup brush.
