Vid worked for me as well. Your paint job is fantastic by the way, as well as the winterketten. Looks like depression could use some help filing off the sau? Maybe internal?

Benny, what did you mean by sau, not familiar? Thanks for the compliment on the paint.

Nice.

I assume from the Tx, you got it from Banzai, but it wasn't on their site when I looked. Ostketten very cool as well.

I had that transmitter and matching receiver in the parts cabinet. I got the tank from AAF.

Thank you manchu9inf. I've never done the blue gears before this build, now I've done my KT and PIV. I'm looking forward to seeing your camo. And, I am also very much looking forward to your report on your Danville experience with your Jagdpanzer. I wish I lived close enough to participate.

Tools and equipment look real. Great way to pack the inside. Now we know why you get such good barrel depression/elevation and traverse.

Looks good manchu9inf, I like the number too.

Like the camo scheme!!!

thanks for the compliments, i had to fine tune the camo a bit, i think it looks a little better.

I see you added more Dunkel Gelb!!! Looks good.

Very nice job!
This must be a very popular Tank Build, over 7000 views in a little over a month, WOW!!

Thanks all for watching this thread, its been a fun build, been working on the weathering and some final painting, i hope to have some more pics up soon.

I was able to get some weathering done this weekend and mounted the IR emitter. I mounted it so the wire could run through the driver's vision slot.

Looks nice. Will look even better once you apply the flat coat.

Just needs some Danville Dirt!

I like the scratching and the way you ran the emitter, looks great.

yes, it does need the final dusting with the tamiya flat, but i use a coat of Future on it to help with the weathering and washes. I had to cut and resolder the IR wire, i think it gives it a neater look. And the Danville dirt is the best weathering for it!

Excellent work fellas!

Been following this thread from the start. Thanks much for sharing it. Absolutely beautiful job!
