Hi guys,a lot of work here on one of my favorites tanks!
My contribution for this campaigns will be a KV 1A,KV 220 and maybe a KV 2,all braille builds,1/72 scale.
First KV1 A:

...i hope to finish the montage today.
Cheers!

I may face the same problem...

My Trumpeter KV-1 is at the Primer booth... waiting for time to paint..
I might manage it in a week but 2 weeks would be perfect

I would appreciate any extension if one is being considered. I am still playing catchup in several campaigns with only marginal success so far.

An extension eh? Let me have a little think about it.

A little extension would be perfect, not too long, but just enough time to paint and weather my little KV, as I said earlier a week or two would be just right, very, very kind campaign leader!!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget to upload a finished picture of your KV tank to the campaign gallery.

Hmmm (taps foot on ground as he surveys the troops) Looks like a few of you are letting RL get in the way of your modellling...

OK.. you have two weeks extra. Now get to those workbenches!

DISMISSED!!

Great, thanks Warren! Maybe I can get a little sleep in there between rl and modeling now

Cheers Warren, very much appreciated, I will be able to get my little KV finished, you are a star........

Jason

I know...

Verry good news Warren,much appreciated!
Now, i'm sure i will finish all my braille KV.
First, my KV 1 A ready for paint:




Cheers!
Dani

Thanks for the extra week Warren !!!

Last night I applied the decals and started painting the tracks with matt Black and Track Brown.
By the end of the week I'll have pics online with the update...

First KV finished for this campaign...Lt.Zinoviy G. Kolobanov tank no.864,near Gatchina,august 1941,1-st Arm.Division,where Kolobanov squad[his tank and another four KV],destroy a column of 43 german tanks,from 8-th Pz.Div.
My KV before the battle[after the battle ,the crew of No. 864 counted a total of 135 hits on their tank, none of which had penetrated the armor-my kit was to little for represent so many hits ]:










Next will be another braille build, a KV 220,this time a winter camo,prepared for Leningrad Battle.
Cheers,
Dani

Very well done Dani!

Not long to go now people.. Hope you take advantage of my very generous 2 week extension..

What's the last date for our KV pics to be submitted to the gallery???? just so that we all know....... would hate to have a 2 week extension and miss it..... cheers

Jason

Tuesday, the 14th of June 2011... Is that concise enough??

Perfect mate, as clear as glass..... cheers

Jason

Good point Warren but I can't seem to leave well enough alone. Pictures of some of these that survived until near the end of the war show somewhat more than just plain stripped down appearance. In several cases it is evident that they were carrying war trophies or other booty including but not limited to full beds, boxes even one with a sofa and another with a rocking chair on the rear deck.

My SU is roughly based on the one photo that I posted several pages ago. It's fairly bare but had that larger drum on the fender, a tarp on the fender toward the front and cleaning rods on the opposite side. I spent some time trying to replicate a larger tarp but had no success. I rummaged through the spares box and found a left over tarp that would have to do.

The decals are now on and covered with future and further weathering will continue. I'll add a bit more crud to the tracks and suspension and try to have it done by the former official end date. It's just too tempting to take advantage of the generous extension and procrastinate.

Here's where it currently stands as of yesterday.





@madmax5510 - WOW, wish I could build at the lightning speed that you did with your KV. The tracks on that kit look to have really nice surface detail, Dani.

Cheers,
Jan

Jan, it is your odel. If you want to place a bed on the back go right ahead..

I would say the capitalist items would have been confiscated very quickly by NKVD persons who would have used them for themselves..

Trumprter 1/35 KV-1‘s Ehkranami.

Well done all those who have finished! Don't forget to upload at least one photo to the photo gallery.

Keep on it guys and gals!

Warren I have been finished for a while but have been working on my building as a backdrop for it so I have been holding off on putting it in the gallery

@Lap that looks a lot like my KV except my kit was the old Tamiya 1

Is OK Sal. You cn always put another picture in later after you finish the diorama.

all done, sorry for the bad phtoos
