Let's move on. I got this KT second hand. I'm the third owner, but the kit has been well taken care off. I thought about doing a complete respray , but the looks of it has grown on me, so I desided to keep the look , and just 'make it my own'. with some bits and bobs.

Upgrade parts it has is:
Schumo idler + axel kit
schumo engine grill set

Thank you Wilco and Richard :-)

Ok. I sat down and thought about the look I wanted. I like the bare look without the fenders, but I wanted to have some of them on, I like that even better. it makes it look wider and mean.

So I thought about , since it's late in the war and supply's are somewhat thin, fenders from other KT and parts almot with only primer on.

Then I thought it needed a black wash.

And more rust and streak's. You can argue if a KT ever got so beaten up that it started to rust, probably not, but I think it looks good. I like the look of a well used tank

But what is a tread without VIDEO :-)

I got the maxx gearboxes for gear reduction. But I did a poor job on grinding down the outgoing axel on the gearbox so I have to take it easy when powerturning.

Here is a before and after video.

Stian ser ryddig (or do your call/name it pent ?)
Smart idé å bruke (brukne :?: :oops: ) restene til fendere.

Video afther looks much bedre : Chessygrin : i use the reduction from impact

Fra hvilken plass du kommer i Norge Stian, er det og en tank klubb

Here a movie from our Battleground http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDjt05URsY8

I live in Drammen city, about 40 min. from Oslo. Tank scene in Norway is not big, just a hardcore gang sitting in front of the computers sharing work in progress pictures :-) Some rc truck and work machine entusiast's also have tanks, but there is no scene like you and the US have with battle arenas. I had the leo 2a6 5 years ago, but sold it since I was alone, then I got the HL Tiger some years ago, but sold that to. But now, I'm not selling.This time it's for good. :-)
Next I want a JP but it's a shame that there is no lower hull for the JP and Panther like the other HL tanks have.


Thanks for the nice comment's ( clean looking, = ryddig (tidy) same meaning different word in english)

What impact reduction do you use ? Complete TU's ore just some drop in gears in the tamiya TU's ?

nice battle ground you have :-)
