It's a KT alright! And painted with camo, too! It's the Henschel production turret model which I think looks so much better than the Porsche pre-production turret.

One of the exhausts is missing ...

So's the headlight, and there's a huge seem visible on the flimsy, plastic barrel.

The inside is gutted, and ...

... parts of the running gear simply aren't painted at all but left as bare metal.
The paint is old and discolored from two decades of tabacco smoking, there is residue of bird doodoo from the two pet canaries they have flying around, the camo is very basic, the decal is flaking off, there is no weathering whatsoever and the tools are just painted in the most basic of colors. So all in all it's a big project, but it's a fun project, and one I wouldn't have if not for the thoughtfulness and generosity of a close friend.
What I plan to do: (When I get around to it)
- Replace the missing headlight and exhaust stack
- Fix up the barrel or just up and replace it
- Since I'm poor as heck I can't afford proper Tamiya DMD electronics, so I'm probably going to try and get it running with aftermarket Mato and Heng Long bits
- Possibly zimmerit it
- Light battledamage
- Additional stowage / detail parts
- Repaint
- Weather
Yay, a project!
