This tank is waiting for Taigen 2,4 GHz kit, too.

Today I rebuilt exaust system of my KV-1.
Usually Heng Long produces KV-1 tanks with one smoke outlet in the rear of the hull, although in reality these tanks had two exhaust outlets located at the top of the hull, behind the turret. So I decided to restore the truth. First I demounted the plastic exhaust simulations and expanded holes a little bit for installation of metal exhaust outlets.

Then I added a smoke unit.

And there is the result!

Thanks! There were changed addreses of the photos in the first post, but I couldn't fix that, because "edit" button is missing almost in all my posts... :-(
The fuel drum comes from rctank.de, but the chain I bought in imitation jewelry shop. There could be found different size necklaces, that fit tanks very well! :-)))

Good Afternoon,
This is a great looking tank all around. Sometimes a huge amount of work and detailing is called for, other times just the little things add up to excellence and most importantly, fun. I also sorely want one of those Torro metal KV-2s since I've seen how cool the tank looks in any scale.
Regards,
Painless Wolf
