Really struggled to come up with a subject that I could get done in the little time I've left myself, but I'm hoping this one should tick all the boxes:
Unique subject, no need for a platoon.....Check!
Plenty of plastic, no resin or brass.....Check!
Simple monochrome paint-scheme.....Check!
Looks like a goer!
Been trying to find a video of the real thing, but what I'm looking for is only the briefest clip and it's totally drowned out in my searches by WOT BS.....Have to make do with a still and a small one at that:
The KV-220 is hanging from the crane.....This is the configuration of the vehicle as it went into battle, with a 76mm armed KV-1 turret.
Underarmed you say.....If you were German you were most likely meeting this thing in a Pz.III armed with a short barrel 5cm gun that had absolutuly no chance of penetrating its armour from any aspect at any realistic range. Suffice it to say that a single well placed round from a soviet 76mm was, at best, unfortunate for an early production Pz.III at anything much under a kilometer.
PS - The more I look at that still the less this looks like a monochrome paint-scheme.....Looks like a white-wash job and a bit thinner on the turret, which would make sense, but might (almost certainly will) scupper a prompt finish.
