Soeren Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hey there, I decided to stop here now and call it finished, don´t want to overdo it. This is the Tamiya KV-1 1/16th scale full option kit. Painted with Acrylics and oils. Enamel, Pigments and oil washes for the dirt on the hull and the wheels and AK weathering pencils up top. Got the ABER detail set and one or two other detail kits by ABER or Schumo. Tracks are a bit tight as the adjustment is rather rough for the idler and the track runs better a bit tighter than too loose. Thanks for watching. 36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 That is tremendous, the larger scale gives so much scope for improvement. The extra detail really enhances the beast and the paintwork and weathering are exemplary. Brilliant work and as DA said, "now that is nice".

Soeren Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) @Das Abteilung @Jasper dog @M3talpig @vaoinas Thank you for your comments. I am actually really happy how this one turned out considering how plain and boring it is out of the box. What I like most though is the engine startup sound. But that is something you can’t picture unfortunately. Edited July 28, 2020 by Soeren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Great job. I pity the Panzer III crew who dares to invade your flowerbed. Always liked the KV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that I don´t own a Panzer III to have them two battle it out in that flowerbed. But I will post a picture once I have one of my Panthers over here. Also for the size comparison.

The other was not exactly to my taste. 22 hours ago, diablo rsv said: Very nicely done! Thank you very much :) I don´t know if I posted this already. This is a sound sample that I posted on youtube a few weeks ago before this was finished. But it shows what it sounds like rambeling around in the garden. Now also with the serious look to it. KV1 sounds like serious business 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hey there, I wanted to share a few pics of the comparison Panther vs. KV-1. This really shows the difference in tank engineering between nations and also considering the time difference. When the KV-1 was introduces, German AT tanks had 5cm guns at best. The Panther is a work in progress a heavily modified Taigen/HengLong model. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
