KV-1 in German service Clark electronics

[c.rainford73]

I just finished my first KV-1. It was originally a basic Heng Long that went through some changes.

Has an Asiatam metal hull and torsion bar suspension. Late model wheels

Metal tow cables custom made.

Resin stowage boxes and canvas bedroll.

Tank commander is hand painted resin.

Has Visaton speaker metal headlight

Metal Panzer III commander cupola
Aber metal antenna metal hull boxes

Added resin fuel tank

Real rust on exhaust and hatch hinges.

Sounds really good with the Clark board and Visaton speaker.

Running a Futaba with self centering sticks kit and custom firing button on top

Very nice

How have you found the Clark to install and run as I am considering that at the moment

Good morning,
A thorough job! I really like the Soviet type tow cables. Paint and weathering are excellent! You have made the old HL version of this tank into it's best possible hybrid configuration.
regards,
Painless

Great looking tank.

Have you based it on an actual German service captured tank ?
The crew that ran the tank must have been worried that another Panzer would blow a hole in it.....

Nice looking KV, I see you're using one of Bob's radio's.

[c.rainford73]

Thank you for the compliments! I used some historical photos to base the commander cupola and antenna mast location. I took liberty with the camouflage and such. Bob's radio works excellent for my basic tk22 4 channel setup. It's probably my best runner and tracks are smooth.
