Great job on weathering, down to the realistic rust in tow cables. Not a big KT fan, but this one looks nice.

Reaqlly nice job on yours! I can't wait to get mine that nice looking. KT'S ROCK! First day I got it the airsoft gun jambed and exploded @ the chamber AND the smoker decided to quit. When I e-mailed the guy about it, he said that the Matorro KT's were on b/o for a while, but he would send me one of the new (for then) Matorro Shermans if I like. "Either way, keep the KT and (if you fix it yourself) then you will have two tanks, or you can wait for the new KT's to come in and I'll ship". Pretty sweet deal if I say so myself.

<div style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; OVERFLOW: hidden; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; COLOR: #000000; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-ALIGN: left; TEXT-DECORATION: none">hey buddies,for the weathering,here it is:
1.wipe the tank all over with the mixture of Zippo oil and Oil paint(Coal black color &amp;Ocher color),and for the "mixture",sth like dirty pasty oil(I really don't know how to describe), and for the ratio,the more rusty,the more Ocher color in it. And then wait for several minutes,5-10 minutes,maybe.
2.use a cotton cloth(tiny knot better) to wash the "mixture" very very lightly so that you will leave some trace like rust,muddy,or sth dirty for tanks.
3.after the wash,then a quite long time,you can put your tank anywhere to make the tank dry as quickly as possible, it will last maybe 8-10 days,or you can use a hair drier to make it a shorter time.
4.then after the dried wash,use Tamiya Metal paint(or 8B pencil) to make the <font color="#000000">paint</font> peeling off effect(my poor English,is there any word for this??)
5.almost finished,last step use clear lacquer  to protect the coating or your tank.

That is the simple step for this,and my methord for 1   16 tanks.
Just have a try, to make your tanks more realistic!!!!!!

Bravo my King Tiger Brother!

That is one nice kitty you got going there! I like the subtle transistion in the cammo, not to hard and not to soft. Just right!

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
