Re: kv-2 turret print

no worries! i just got the photo measurements by doing a straightforward move. i took the gun's elevating motor housing and placed it on top my printer's scanner
blunt but i took finer measurements after that was done.

Re: kv-2 turret print
I've just started printing a KV2 turret (main body printing now). I noticed that the HL turret ring doesn't match up with the rescaled 1/35 drawings.

Re: kv-2 turret print
Good afternoon,
Great work! Looks equal to or better than Torro or Tamiya.
