Default Taigen JT work

So picked up on of those hateful Jagdtigers the last time at Danville. Thanks BOB. {Still need your paypal!}

Once home I messed around with a few things and installed an IBU2 PRO. I mounted the Battle unit and made a recoil. I also found a pretty cool widget on Ludwigs site that I'm going to make the traverse from. It was for the JP but I think I can mod it work in the JT.
I'll update once those parts come in and I get to working on it.

I think the hardest part was deciding on what to do about the dersert tan. I base coated the tank and was considering zimmerit and leaving it yellow. None of the production JTs had it so I opted out. 45.00 bucks sitting around in zim now.
I didn't want a heavy saturation color scheme since I have those. I also didn't want it to look like the stock tank.

SOOOO this is what I came up with. This is still fresh dull coat so it will fade out a bit more. No Chipping done yet.
