I took courage and applied the zimmerit to the back of the turret, what do you think?

Looks good. Are you using milliput?

Hi Vince
I am using an old two-component filler that I forgot to have, similar to milliput but from my most resistant experience. I think when it is painted it will be fine, otherwise it will be fine anyway! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Today I continue, but I don't think I can finish it, it's a long job.

I would like to put the tank on the Eastern front, I read that the "Totenkopf" division in February 1944 was in central Ukraine, so it should be fine. Please, can you tell me what numbering the "companies" had? Which department sign was painted on the tank (skull)? What colors did the numbers and the sign have? Thank you

Made a second hole in the cloak.
Modified swelling profile.
Now I have to redo the internal parts of the hole, so I will have to redo the biocular optics. I hope someone has some photos otherwise I will have to improvise some parts.

Sorry Ivano but I have no idea about that part. In fact it is also shown in the second diagram I sent. Could it be just a simple handle? Just an idea.

I found the documentation I was looking for to reproduce the biocular viewer. Could anyone give me the measurement between the two holes (wheelbase) in the Armortek tank? Thanks a lot Ivano

I finished applying the zimmerit on the turret.
Do you think these surface damages are realistic? I don't want to attack metal. Do they look like real? Thank
