Just showing off my 1/16 tamiya KT I have been working on.

Very nice work!

[maxmekker]

Thank you

[brett657]

A very nice build.I really like it.This is a nicely designed and would seem a better fit. These are the rarer ones.I do find it quite interesting though that these pieces show upwhen some of the 1/16 pieces are at the highest prices they have been.I must say that this is one of the best models that I have seen in a long time. You truly get what you did for this model.Click here (http://www.nitrotek.nl/rc-tanks.html) to find more.

Thanks man. Not sure I did understand all you tried to say though :-)

Did a video of it.

Great vid!
I LOVE your weathering! I usually hate that because 9 out of 10 people over do it and it is unrealistic. I like how the bare metal is just showing a tiny bit on the turret top to side plate. The rust is apparent but in a subtle way, I can go on and on... nice work!
I am a tank lover but I have zero aptitude with air brush technique and so I wisely stayed away from this endeavour. Still, watching the vid and photos gave me a big grin! :rockon2:

[maxmekker]

Thanks man. glad you liked it :-) I also do some small work. And I give you a sneak prev on my 1/16 JP build

I really like what you have done, just gorgeous. I'm glad you didn't go for the Zimmerit coating. While that was put on early German KTs built through late 1944, I never liked how it "looked" and much prefer your weathering treatment. Love the video too.....
