kv 5 slice and dice ..even more update turret

[mcevoyi]

hi all

its been a week of two since i put anything up on the site in the way of a conversion ... i have been busy with a series of projects
and thought it was about time some one did something with the kv ...

the kv is a big tank .. at least the size of the king tiger .... i guess the kv the first choise for most moellers would be the kv-2 / a simple conversion and one that i am surprised that modellers have not done ? i guess it may be down to cost of the various conversions about the market place ?

well many of you know me by now ... i have had a kv sat arount for more than a year .. i picked it up seveal times .. and looked at the huge potentual of the tank ... theres so many different things that you could do ... and i have a list of ideas .. some just great and will get built over the next few months .... and some just plain nutts .. like stalin's orcestra ... the 3 kv's welded together .. to make a land ship .. i know its been featured in sever threads on here .. but yep... i cannot find the link ...

any way enought chat ....

one chassis ... one razor saw ..... a few heart stopping moments ... followed by a lump of 40th plastic card





and just as an idea of the difference n size i took a pic or two with the hull top placed back on the diced chassis





any one got any idea what i am going to build ??

nice link .. not seen that b4... i have a set of drawings .. and the looks of that model look ok .. but i think the proportions are wrong

but still a very nice job done ..

as far as i have read there was only one .. and i cannot find out what happened to the kv-5 after the libreation of stalingrad
if any one know that would be so helpful ..
