Badder Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 A superb looking KV-1 you've got there, very subtly weathered. A newcomer yet to score first blood on the battlefield. I love the satin finish. (Something I've always preferred to see compared to the usual matt.) It looks very 'metal'. Well done. Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 Thanks folks. I tend to build a wide variety of models so as I don't spend time on a common subject it's all very experimental and a bit hit-and-miss. Just glad you think she looks OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny akes Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Nice result there! I'm just finishing Zvezda's KV-2 which is the same kit (except for the turret, obviously); not sure which is the re-boxing but mine doesn't have the p/e unfortunately. I think you made the right choice of the plastic rather than the rubber tracks, although they are a bit of a pain to fit if you leave them of to paint first. Regards JA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaubar Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Great job. Only a bit too much rust on the running parts of the tracks for my taste, but then again, everyone sees this differently. Keep building more tanks^^. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 That really is a great looking KV-1 Nigel! Very impressive paintwork and finish. Very well done. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you re. the rust. All part of the 'trial & error' with every build 13 hours ago, PlaStix said: That really is a great looking KV-1 Nigel! Very impressive paintwork and finish.
