Been looking for a nice Camo Pattern and I think I found something that will work for me... Basically, a WWII Tri-Tone Woodland Colors Pattern like the one on my King Tiger but with hard Geometric Shapes instead of the usual soft Contoured Splotches and a darker Red Oxide for areas like the insides of the Skirts and the Chassis Sides that would not have received a Camo Painting 🤔

As the lack of any sensible ranged Anti-Personnel Weaponry on the Tank started to bother me I decided to buy a 1:35 20mm Cannon Set which I'm repurposing for that task by mounting it into the Viewport Slit to the left of the Main Cannon:

Though with the Viewport Slit obviously not supporting the full range of motion of the Main Cannon but me absolutely wanting to have at least some movement in the otherwise static third Cannon if mounted directly to the Turret I had to come up with a mechanism that would allow it to be slaved to the Main Cannon while also complying to the limited Range of motion imposed by the Slit with the end result being a similar mechanic that I think can be found in PC Joysticks / RC Remote Gimbals 🤨

And on the actual model:

The amount of vertical motion ain't much but it's something ( I'm still missing a rubber band for it to work on its own 🤣 )
