Thanks Painless, Joe!

Really happy I managed to salvage the weathering with Pauls idea of baby oil and add some wages last night.

Few more bits to do then add the stowage and i'm done.

Thanks Herman :D

Got a few bits left to do tonight before I place the stowage items.

I like my tanks to be subtle, nearly new :)

Calling the KV finished for now. Really enjoyed building, painting and weathering (albeit twice to cover up clear coat faff) and would like to thank Paul for his cracking job on the camo.

Enjoy the last few pics :D
