Benny, what did you mean by sau, not familiar? Thanks for the compliment on the paint.

I had that transmitter and matching receiver in the parts cabinet. I got the tank from AAF.

Thank you manchu9inf. I've never done the blue gears before this build, now I've done my KT and PIV. I'm looking forward to seeing your camo. And, I am also very much looking forward to your report on your Danville experience with your Jagdpanzer. I wish I lived close enough to participate.

Tools and equipment look real. Great way to pack the inside. Now we know why you get such good barrel depression/elevation and traverse.

I was able to get some weathering done this weekend and mounted the IR emitter. I mounted it so the wire could run through the driver's vision slot.

Some more pics, the side skirts will get mounted soon and the tank will get a final dusting to blend it all together.

Looks nice. Will look even better once you apply the flat coat.

I like the scratching and the way you ran the emitter, looks great.

yes, it does need the final dusting with the tamiya flat, but i use a coat of Future on it to help with the weathering and washes. I had to cut and resolder the IR wire, i think it gives it a neater look. And the Danville dirt is the best weathering for it!
