Thanks Eastern . the zimmermet one will be in the east , painting will be my downfall. The new KT without the coating western side, going for a later version . Lots of camouflage options to choose from .

Been away , sunny Andalusia cycling . Back to the wet and cold so better start on the KT .
Finished the hull sides . Wanted the tow cable to look used with a kink or two .
Found out i need a bigger dia of wire , 3mm instead of 2mm .
Will do for now can use the 2 mm tow cables on the Panther.

That all looks real authentic Mr 42
Sure is a well done transformation.
When you choose a camo scheme for it, try to find a unit that it may have represented & research those patterns.........that way at least you can get a picture on your head before the first blast of the airbrush!!
Great job

Decided to make a bucket, not keen on the Taigen one . better if it has a few bashes and dents.

- Had some thin copper and made it a little smaller

- added a ring of brass for some strength
