Very nicely done, Tiggr.; judging by this pic. :thumbup: This seems like more evidence of Atak zimmerit quality....

You're not using Preview there..or if you are, it must be with a very early version of Mac OS. That file's over 4 megs, but should reduce easily to below 350kb with little loss of detail.
Here's a Picture I took of KT 341; a tank currently being restored at the Swiss Military museum. The Preview resize window is very basic, and really simple to use. The original shot was over 4megs, but here it has been reduced to around 331kb, and the screen 'grab' down to 288kb:
Swiss King Tiger 341..pixel compression
Swiss King Tiger 341..pixel compression
It's rarely necessary to alter the resolution, but I often pick the 'Custom' option where I can select from a range of sizes. or, I simply reduce the height or width, the rest is sorted automatically after clicking 'save'. It never fails. On my Cromwell
thread, I felt it necessary to post lots of pics and, never had a glitch using Preview. Hope this helps. :wave:

That looks good! How does the rear look? Mine didn't fit too well.

I had the same experience as you Jack, I suppose the "pukka" way to do it would have been to remove the exhausts and other kit before applying it.
Just looked at it, then compared it to the Torro KT I have.
The Torro version has no zimmerit on the back plate ! :think:
