My word!

That tank looks like before running back to Muti, the Germans stuffed the thing in a leaky barn, and it was found years later.. :haha:

Great weathering. In my 1/32 tanks I used to weather quite heavily, but always wondered :”would a good commander let his tank go this bad?” ... and went-on adding more rust and grime.. :P

By the by, did the gearbox come with a 550 motor, or is that a later addition?

550 motors standard. It's a beast of a gearbox, I'll get some videos from the club meet showing it drifting

That's the artist at work. More painting technique takes nor time. Equals more enjoyment and results in an interesting model to behold. But my guess would be less rust, chips and streaking. But your choice of dust, mud, dirt or grime until pulling down the hose.
