Did you do the putty trick again? Seems like a ton would be required for those big patches needing blocked off.
I'm very happy with the results, though it's much harder to mask in this order as opposed to doing it like my Panther stripes.
Applied the wash and some drybrushing. I rushed it due to being hungover, so a bit sloppier than I would have liked.
Waiting for my metal/rubber roadwheels. Since my metal primer is white, I'll get to see which color I prefer.
I want that mg turret from the 2a7!
Heh. I still have a WIP Big Lots tank primed and ready to go from YEARS ago for that berlin scheme.
Dam it you guys got me looking at RC tanks & I found this thing.

Talk to me before you buy! Heng Long's come in many configurations and different companies offer different levels of support.
This is your source for research. Be ready to be overwhelmed.
RC Tanks
I bought my Leo from TPA on a Friday and had it on Wednesday. They seem to have good support.

Matomart out of Canada is a major supplier, but communication is hard since they are Chinese.

Taigen takes Heng Long molds and makes them into beasts with nice paint, but you pay for it. Erik is active with the community and you can call him any time.

Just watched that video... What is it? That's a real POS with rubber band treads and no suspension?
No, just no. You'll be sick of it on day one.

Ya if I did get it it would be handed off to the kid, as he is not old enough for the fun RCs.
Then after the kid is done with it paint it cobra Blue :lmao: & let the new more expensive tank shoot at it

What a great webpage. Apparently the version I am chasing is the 2 PSO.

Stair climb from front and then side. This is why I tank.

Yeah, it's full speed. I have a faster gearbox, but then you lose the torque. Can't have the best of both worlds without going down the very expensive rabbit hole of 3rd party electronics, so I chose power for this tank. My panzer III handles like a Ferrari.
I just spent 2.5hrs installing "glass" into all 10 periscopes on the turret and hull (which you can't even see unless you catch a light reflection) and form fitting foam into the hull to stop it from acting as a subwoofer box for the motor and gear sound.
It truly is a sickness.

We all have our passions, however nonsensical they may be. I spent a freaking year building a toy that I have no room for. 
Well, just put Devy in the nursery.
My brain just can't deal with missing glass on windows that cannot be rolled down.

I totally get that. As much as I didn't want to, I had to make "glass" for 3 of the 6 of my nursery display piece.
No, a sickness is the fact that the Poles have more Leopard 2s than the Germans. :trollface:

What is this??
Made some doors for the gunners sights and painted lenses. I need to find a better way to do the lenses, but it's ok for now.
I gave him exaggerated earmuffs for viewing at a distance. The spec ops look just didn't have the right effect.
