I think it looks fantastic. It's almost impossible to believe it started as a leaf-green plastic model!

Good job!

I did manage to do some of the mud effects on the lower hull and suspension today. It will look better once it completely dries on the tank.

Well, I have finally managed to complete the KV-1. I added the headlight lens, as well as a few tie-downs along the tanks hull and rear deck and an ariel recognition flag the the rear quarter. I can now call it done.
