Great work! Looks equal to or better than Torro or Tamiya.

It needs just a little resurfacing and sanding and it's good to be painted

printed 1/2 of the the base panels, will print the turret gear mount later after work.


freshly scraped out of the glass panel and test fit onto the turret, fits like a glove



added those under turret floor elbow/brackets to help support the back part of the turret that's elevated

printed the Turret gear mounting and it fits! many thanks Mr. Woz!

Good morning,
This just looks better and better. One of my future builds is the stock Soviet version of the KV-2. I was going to just use the Tamiya kit sprues but now there is an alternative. Following along.
