I don't believe that the Takom KT without zimmerit has been released yet; so, you're SOL.

I believe that KT had 18 tooth drive sprocket and transport tracks.

It's out...I have one sitting beside me. Anything else other than the 18 tooth sprocket and transport tracks?

Plenty o'rust pigment. This KT's turret looks like it was lit up like a gas grill with all of the burners open at full throttle.

Not seen the Takom kit but the late Tiger II will need 4 fuel vent pipes as well as the new drive and late track or transport track if doing the one depicted. Hobby Boss do the late track if you do not want the expense of Fruils.
