Alan 47 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) This was something I'd wanted to do for a while and at first it was going to be a knocked out KT but that changed once I started painting and had gone a bit over the top with the rust so decided to do what I wanted to do and made it a complete wreck that's been sitting in a forest for 70 years Oh and yeah I realise I've left the front MG on Edited December 1, 2014 by Alan 47 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethal Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Fantastic wreck. Makes you wonder if there are a couple of those old, rusty relics still out there...somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Superb! What really makes it for me is the hint of interior structure in the turret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Great stuff! There used to be a Panther and T-34 on the petrol bomb range at Vogelsang Camp in Germany which looked very much the same apart from being rather blackened too! I notice that you refrained from putting a few battle damage shell `dents' and a coup de gras hole in the model......I don`t think that I could help myself!

wimbledon99 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 How to ruin a good kit with such skill!! It's wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Great stuff, and spot on to avoid battle damage, I think there was more chance of this KT having run out of fuel and being left, than being knocked out in action. I saw a film clip on youtube recently of a Hetzer being brought out of a pond, intact, a KT might be a bit more of a challenge to hide !

Parabat Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 That is brilliant! Really realistic and the green foliage growing up around and beneath it really creates that long-lost feeling very well. Inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
