It's been a great motivator for me to actually do something 'against the clock' a bit...

This is Trumpeter's 'Ekranami' in-progress, today I should be starting on the PE and the tracks along with some general cleaning up...Jim

Sure looks big and beefy. A nice looking build this far. But it kinda gives me some panic that you have gotten that far. Haven't even taken down my T-34 for this campaign from the shelf...

Nice

You mentioned PE--does this come with the Trumpeter kits, or is it an after market set. Also I noticed no tube so far -- are you going after market for that also, or just not to the "gun tube stage" yet?

Looks really good so far.

Nice progress so far.God,Jim,I was looking at how you have the wheels already on,will you be using aftermarket track? Or are you going to use the kit link and lengths?

Pork,not so big and BEEFY!

I'm going to be using the Eduard set for hatch details and replacing the (plastic) grilles on the kit...

Tracks are the kit link 'n length set - i'm saving another AM set for another KV...

I'm also toying with this as another project - the KV - 220 ..Jim
