Beautiful work! My goodness I would send you my KT, but shipping these days is so crazy. That and I doubt it would survive two cross Atlantic trips.

Very nice art work, indeed!

Well, I wonder if WW II tanks could live long enough for such a kind of weathering. It looks for me like a memorial tank staying outdoors for decades...
kind regards

Absolutely gorgeous! That’s the kind of weathering I’d love to have on my Panther.
