Karl, you won't be disappointed and they should be relatively easy to find for a good price!
Tread, I hear you...it's strange seeing one in the three-tone livery. The KVs were huge beasts...same size as a Tiger I.
Andy, took me just the right amount of time...3 weeks is what I had between the end of the Wirbelwind and the start of BITW and it fit just perfectly. Thanks for following along!
Eric, thanks for the kind words and glad you like my approach. You're right about the dry-brushing, I don't do a lot as a matter of course...typically it's only something I do on isolated items or for a specific weathering effect as opposed to doing an all-over-vehicle dry-brush. It does take some practice and care to avoid over-doing it but is still a good tool to have in the arsenal.
Mike, nice to see you back posting on your regular schedule and thanks as always for the support.
Rob, I was thinking of going further initially but as I got into it and saw how things were interacting I decided to stop with it and not go overboard since it isn't going onto a base or in a dio setting.
Jester, thanks for the comments as well!
