Don't often see much early-war armour, so this is something special. Excellent work on the weathering, it looks perfect.

Good morning,
Almost missed this one which would have sucked and blown. Break100, sweet job on an early KV! I love Stalin's Giants and this is a great representation down to the rust on the track guards. I love the headlamp too! So many folks put a lot of effort and time into beautiful paint jobs and realistic weathering then leave the HL 'frog eye' led in place. I've got one of those same lamps lined up for a future KV-2 build.
regards,
Painless

painless, thanks for the comment. I agree with you, many has neglected the HL headlamp and focusing more to external work. if you notice i ve changed the headlamp twice. The current headlamp is the bigger one (2nd pic from top) although its not 100% correct scale but at least the silhouette is closer to the correct one. i will update the pics later.

Excellent job on the paint, just nicely weathered and not overdone, it really looks the part.
