25£ KV-2
Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2015 3:05 pm
in an earlier post I told you about my bargain for 5 tanks.
I have sold a pan/tiger, made up 2 Shermanns , and started an early Tiger. However the treads about converting KV1 to KV2, sidetracked me into cutting up my spare KV1 instead of trading it.
My goal was to not put any money into it so I recycled what I could salvage from the original turret.
found an old drawer, cut everything up and nailed/glued together.
Its not 100% scale because I started with the turret bottom and mantlet from the KV1.
I have not bothered with elevation , because I will redo the mantlet/gun at a later stage. Im dreaming of inventing a recoilsystem using a solenoid aswell.
All measurements are taken from The-blueprints.com
( im missing a fan on the top, will get back to that later)
