You are definitely doing some great work on your KT.

While I understand and respect your opinion this is quite a 180 turn from doing a Wittmann's Tiger. Now he's a topic I will never model for various reasons.

Keep it up sir I love watching your progress.

Those discussions about german troops in WW2 are always tricky,, so it will be better to leave it.
Making models of german ww2 machines ( planes, tanks, motorcucles, boats etc) is a risky topic, even 80 years after war.
My point of view at german/nazi troops in ww2 didnt change in those years at all i wasnt fan of them and im still not. There was no any turns in that matter.
Its such a good thing that Gemany changed so much during postwar years. Its important to me because i live in Poland. Now we have a serious threat on the East. ( again).

Not an easy thing to replicate which is why I have not gone there!
222 before it went to the SS deployment.
Funny looking them skinny tracks & dark road wheels !!

Hi Kapalek.
I don‘t think you added too many dots or even in a too small size, when I compare yours with the pic posted by Mr.Bix.
It looks almost the same.
So you did a good job.
About those dots and sizes, I do have some KT‘s too with this Hinterhalt Tarnung.
Some with larger dots, some with smaller ones.
They all look good to me.
So don‘t worry about yours, it‘s good as it is!!

Very nice work. What color of wash did you use? Tracks are matal arent they? Mine are plastic and they dont look as good as yours.
