Einar Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Some years ago I had an intensive period of building tanks. One of them was the red army's KV-1 (after general Kliment Voroshilov). I especially liked the tank-like looks of the version in which additional metal plates had been attached to the turret with big bolts. This KV-1 type had the Russian nickname "s ehranami" or "with screens" in English. The red army ordered the additional metal plates to be attached to the KV-1's to make the turrets thicker against the efficient German tank guns. The strongly sagging tracks were also typical of this tank giving it real badass looks. I built the KV-1 from a good quality Trumpeter kit. To enhance the model I also bought tracks that consisted of separate links and an Eduard photoetch set for the engine grilles, etc. The only thing that caused a bit of trouble in modelling was attaching the slogan decals to the uneven turret sides full of bolts and holes. After a bit of swearing and patching I finally made it in my opinion quite well. Edited September 7, 2021 by Einar 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll probably find that this is the opinion of a lot of people; me included. In fact, very well rather than just "quite"! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy modelling Thanks Dov! The kit was ok. Maybe not of Tamigawa level, but I like the outcome.. There is no interior though.

Bullbasket Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 You've done an excellent job on that, and well done for getting the decals to sit nice and flat. Nice work. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
