tiger tiger wrote:Hi troops thanks for your help, i have seen a new old stock ( I THINK) advertised from a shop, Mattoro kt with moulded zim on the body and turret and a custom paintjob for sale. It needs a few things sorted out but not seen one before and thinking of a new project after finishing the panther project. i do love a kt such presence, a big big tank.
tiger tiger, that would be the Matorro KT I was talking about then. Like Painless says, you will need to replace quite a lot of parts, but the upper is great and I love the moulded zims, they even have chips on it. The custom paint job is actually factory custom, whatever that means, but it is top quality. People don't believe me when I tell them the tank came as is. I also replaced the BB barrel with the Tamiya KT metal barrel and the plastic mantlet and it fits fine.

Like I said before, if you want some close-up shots let me know. Mine also has been fitted with the new Taigen KT metal lower.

Alpha, my Taigen KT is now basicly a Torro. Geez I really need to get some pics up don't I? :haha:


BTW I think I made my wife mad, I told her I intend to collect more tanks and expand to some armor as well. She's not happy. :haha:

tiger tiger....... Here you go. I have replaced the original Matorro lower with the new Taigen metal chassis with torsion bar suspension, as well as the barrel and mantlet with Tamiya parts.
Factory paint job. I have to repaint the barrel and mantlet to match
