Hi Luca.
I think the camo looks much better with the green circles, And the weathering realy good.

Luca, the green spots look so much better! Because they are darker they really stand out (contrast). Very unique paint job - excellently done! Fatastic looking KT.

Hi Luca,
Nice KT you've built. Watch your photos is really enjoyable!
Just wonder if you've made the 2 mesh frames of the 2 front grills by yourself? Look very nice.
Thanks!

Hi Luca,

Great job on your build! I really like the unique end-of-war spot pattern camo.

Regards,

Mark

Yes Chang you are right, the two frontal mesh grill are in scratch. Unfortunately i don't have a milling machine and so they are made in Forex, a sort of plasticard but much more workable.
I evaluated to make the other type of frame, which is very interesting, but this would interfere with the opening of the rear lifting area.

Hi Luca,
Sorry to ask you a bit late of question.
Have you met any difficulty while installing the small tow rope? It's about 220cm in length, yet I've heard that it is still 10cm in short.

It looks so good on your KT. Let me guess, you've used Mike Stannard's rope, haven't you?

Thanks!

Hi fellows these are the last pics of my little fat. I've done some modifications as the grenade guard under the turret, a complete rewire of the electronic, grabbed from Dale the idea to make movable the frontal plate under the turret (under this now is positioned the starter unit) and the news protections for the rear grills.

Now, with much regret, the fat is waiting the crate to bring it to the new owner in germany.

Cheers

Luca

Hi Luca,

Stunning job on your KT. I really like the late camo job you've done and the weathering

I'm sure the new owner will be delighted with their new Panzer.

Thanks for sharing,

Antony

Luca,
Fantasic build and incredible weathering and painting. I can't believe you'd want to part with it! Someone will be very lucky to have it.
