I like the grey scheme. They did the same with some of the Churchills captured at Dieppe: http://www.beutepanzer.ru/Beutepanzer/u ... hill-1.htm

I wouldn't use dark yellow, I highly doubt this thing would have stuck around until 1943 :lol:

So I took the plunge and committed to the KV-5 as a BeutePanzer.

Nice work so far :D

I have a feeling this beast would have had a few of these permanently assigned, just in case :twisted:

Paint has been applied. Making progress but no chance this will be finished by the end of the month. :(

The smaller markings are airbrushed thru Alliance Model Works stencils. The larger crosses are sprayed thru hand cut frisket. The 14 is a spare decal from a 38(t).

Anyone know what colors the rear tail light lenses should be on a KV? Also, what about the lenses on the German round old style tail light?(not seen in photo)

Most impressive Bryan! :)

The German rear light would have dark green lights (photo), the Soviet version was simply red.

Thanks Phillip. I'm referring to the other early style tail light.

This guy. I guess I just paint it gloss black.

Ah, this one. They combined rear light and braking light, so both should be a very dark red.
