KV1

[Del]

Got some done over the w/end.
The lower hulls had a base coat of Vallejo Russian green.The idlers are adjustable now but I forgot to take pics of the mod but will get some when I take the tracks back off to fit a couple of parts.
The tracks themselves were given a light coat of Vallejo rust then dragged on a paving slab to take the colour off of the high points.
Now I'll start cutting out hatches etc on the top hull.

Sheesh thats tidy mate.

[Del]

posted Panther stuff in here by mistake lol,the joys of having two builds on the go.
Anyway here's the right pics for this thread.
Been busy with the dremmel cutting hatch holes etc.

[Del]

Got the hatches fitted and the metal exhaust outlets.
Then threw some paint over the upper hull.Im just waiting for some shading to dry on the hull so I will post some pics of that tomorrow.

Neat work Del, your KV's a nice-looking machine. Which metal exhausts are you using?

[Del]

Morning raminator,thank you and the metal exhausts I purchased them from Tankzone.There is nothing on the packet to say who makes them though.

[jtracks]

I like that dark green, is it Vallejo also?

[PainlessWolf]

Mornin'
Your KV-1 is really coming along. I love the dual speaker setup and the neat appearance of the painted inner hull. Just shows what can be done with HL components. Those metal exhausts are manufactured by Asiatam, I believe. Taigen sells them here in the States and uses them on their high end versions of the KV series. Following along.

Yes it's the Vallejo Russian green.

Spent some time in the turret,I've cut the Bb unit about ready to make the servo recoil unit and after much cursing of fiddly wires and a few burns from the soldering iron the vampire battle system is in.
It's has also had a coat of green and some shading.
