1/48 Hobby Boss Russian KV-2 Tank


Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

A bit of a process error occurred, and I didn't get a coat of Pledge on before doing the thing with the dark wash...

But I didn't realise that until I tried to get it off again.

It took some scrubbing, but I decided to use the grime as  streaking

Lesson learned.

 

It looked ok on the wheels so I left it on, did the rims in MiG Metal Steel, and gave them a quick wash with Tamiya Brown Panel Accent

Must admit to warming towards these MiG Ammo paints, they've really put that Black Primer to bed.

 

MUST remember to Pledge BEFORE Flory.

 

Must.

Hi All

 

With @Troy Smith and @vytautas in mind about tracks, I gave them a coat of MiG Gun Metal (BIG fan of their paints now :thumbsup:), a light pass over with Tamiya XF-80 Royal Light Grey, then a wash with Brown Panel Line Accent

They came out slightly metallic, slightly oxided, and slightly high-manganese steel-ish.

 

To my eye at least...

 

Anyhoo, fitting them was another episode.

 

I'd left the road wheels split, but drive sprocket and return roller were double layered.

 

Some track snapping was involved, but with these single links they went back together without a noticeable join.

The remaining wheels and machine guns went on no bother, so I poppet her hat on to see how she looked

I'll leave her like this while I ponder a light Flory wash to blend in the clean tracks.

 

And also some better photos.

Hi All

 

Bit of a lag on this one, but I've tried some MiG Turned Earth Mud with Flory Sand wash and it's turned out not too bad.

Thanks to all who joined along, see you on the nest one!
