If anything id just run it through some clean puddles to get some of the looser dirt off. If you really fel like cleaning it that is. Youll never get it all off now regardless.

In the dried on state, you couldn't possibly get a more realistic effect. I vote leave it.regards, JZ

Very good point. Plus if you do it right youll get the ring of oil in the center of the hub to look like a blown or over lubed hub seal.

Hey I feel the same way,like to show my tanks for the simple reason I like them and also like to see pictures of the tanks other guys have.I don't think I could ever get mine muddy,but must admit they would look neat running in a muddy area.Also they look good in the sand but the manufacturer's say not to run them in it.I like the bigger scale tanks the most because they just look so much more realistic when you run them than the smaller scale tanks do.

Well, here in California, people park their junk cars in the garage and their good car outside. Go figure.

Absolutely nothing best weathering in large scale is good old mother nature, you being a tree hugger should appriciate that

I even leave the Panther and 251 under the work bench so all the filings, dust etc... fall on top naturely weathering the turrect and deck (and its got nowt to do with the fact I can't paint for toffee)

HT,
I could always fly my RC Rocket firing RAF Typhoon over and plug a few holes into your KT. It might even burn, that would make it even more realistic.
LOL.
Great tank you have there!!!!
