Kv-1 1940

[Bryan Krueger]

It's still too cold to do any painting so I started another KV-1. Mainly because it was the only thing where I had most of the aftermarket available. I'm still waiting on a few goodies but it's getting there.

Well done Bryan, always a pleasure to see a nicely battered KV

I know right! I've tried to do these beat up fenders in plastic before but they never work.

I keep looking at the damaged road wheel, did you grind that down from the plastic part, or scratch build?

Thanks for noticing. I trimmed the hub from the kit part, the post behind it is styrene tube turned down with a file and a cordless drill. The plate piece is a kit part with the holes drilled out. There should be a channel along the plate but I didn't want to risk my only kit part.

This KV-1 1940 has now morphed into a KV-6 Flame Thrower.









The conversion piece comes from Zitader Models out of Japan. A small garage kit company with some unique items. Their site is challenging to navigate so here is the armor specific stuff - http://www.zitader.jp/am.html Lots of options for Japanese armor.

You've turned what already was an outstanding build into a completely unique model, fantastic job

Thanks Philipp.

I've had some free time on my hands so I have been able to focus on finishing projects.

I painted this with the early three tone scheme. I've always wanted to paint this combination.

Looks great

No matter what paint scheme you use, you Soviet tanks always end up amazing
