1/35 Trumpeter KV 1S

Hi all

Thought it was about time I put my entry in.

I am going to building Trumpeter's KV-1S heavy tank OOB. First look at the contents of the box seem quite positive. Kit comes with a small etch fret, separate track links and a metal gun barrel.

This is going to be my first proper armour build, so it includes a number of firsts for me so any hints and tips will be gratefully received.

I'm going to brush painting using the Lifecolour Soviet paint set.

Here's a few box shots

I should be starting in a couple of days.

Hi guys,

Finally made a start on this one.

A few photos of the progress so far.

So far I am finding it to be a hassle free build. Fit is pretty good with only a small amount of filler needed so far.

Going to fit some of the small details to hull next and then, because I'm brush painting, I will have to stick some paint before I put the running gear on. Any tips on dealing with the tracks will be gratefully received.

More soon

Andy
