i've done scale models for over 30 years.but since this is rc i figured scale accuracy can give way a little bit in the interest of fun.

wayne k, Nice Tank. I have the same tank i am in the process of weathering it. My question is what paint did you use for the metal sprocket and idler wheels? Also who makes the decals? I mixed some Tamiya greys to get my metal wheels close. I have collected some Tamiya 1/16th rc decal sets off of ebay and a knock off set of decals from some manufactuer in germany. Is the side antenna functional? I have the same one on my panzer III.

the paint is tamiya german grey base,the same paint lightened with white and dry brushed over the base.i gave the whole tank a wash of brown-black in turpentine and i went over it with pastel chalk powder.it's not finished because i'm going to add the metal suspension and wheels.then i'll have to do the hull again so i didn't spend too much time on it yet. the decals are peddinghaus that i got from eto armor.
