KV-1 (1:35 Tamiya)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

This is a 1:35 model, the KV-1 russian heavy tank. This is Tamiya KIT no. 35066. I made it as movable model. Additional parts are the Friulmodel tracks, towing cables, engine grill, saw. At the bottom I added a short video how does the model ride.

Constructive criticism is encouraged

Very nice indeed. A tank that always looks like it means business.

Superb build, the weathering especially the exposed steal is fantastic :clap:

Nice. It looks like a poster painting (or something)

Is that the original Tamiya barrel or a metal replacement?

 

I like the 'looks like glass' shine on the headlamp. How did you achieve it?

 

All up, a very nice result.

Hi. That is the original Tamiya plastic barrel.

About headlamp I would say that I'm not satisfied enough of the effect, see my Sherman Easyeight, it has better result.

How to achive it? Just cut rounds of silver/chrome paper/foil (f.e. box of toothpaste) then glue and press them deeply inside lamp covers. Or just use Molotov Liquid Chrome marker.

Then use some clear ingredients f.e. humbrol clearfix or better A.Mig (094) Crystal Glass (you can join both). When they be dry but too flat, just apply another layer (drop) of paint to make more sphere surface.

I don't know how to do that 

I prefer the early war turret that was boxy and if i remember correctly its welded and the "E" model had extra plates bolted to the sides of the turret and an extra plate on the upper front plate

just personal preference i think the up armoured early war versions looked really cool
