Mig Eater Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Here is my build of Takom's 1/35 Kv-5 heavy tank, you can find the work in progress thread here. The kit was a fun simple build without any problems, I made a few modifications most notably replacing the 107mm main gun with a 152mm which looks IMO more in proportion with its large turret. I added the tow rope & various bit of stowage from the spare box (German tools & American Jerry can!) along with some 3D printed wooden crates & brackets for the ditching log, which was a random bit of twig from the garden. It took me roughly 10 months to finish this build, slowly working on it a bit at time with some large gaps at points. I'm glad I got there in the end tho as this is the first model that I've managed to finish in the past four years, not for a lack of trying mind you as my shelf of doom will attest to 😅 Hopefully I can keep the momentum going a get some of those unfinished builds done too. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
