Speedman Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Build 1 & 2 Because the only difference in the kits are the turrets, I'm combining two builds into one thread. I know I've already built them in the photos, but don't worry, that's just to show that they're meant to be snap together kits. There's still a lot of work to do even if the part count is quite low =D Price: £2.99 each from Antics.

Speedman Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 All the parts have been cleaned up and I've cut down the moulded in tow shackles so I can add my own made out of wire. Both turrets are now glued and filled with Mr. Surfacer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Shackles added front and rear as well as the hull machine guns. I cut off the plastic rungs on the KV-2 turret and replaced them with copper wire. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedman Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Primed and ready for painting I've drilled out the KV-1's barrel and drilled view holes in the periscopes. Edited February 4, 2014 by Speedman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedman Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 I pre-shaded them today, followed by a few coats of a custom green. After post shading I gave them a few coats of Humbrol Clear. I should be able to get some washes done tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
