Here's my entry for Big and Beefy, the Trumpeter KV-1 Small Turret Model 1941. I plan on building it all OOB, and then putting it in a diorama where it will be abandoned due to mechanical troubles and being examined by German soldiers.







Thanks for looking.

Don't forget to include a few bullet hits,it would be abandonned in a war zone.so it should have seen some action before going bad.

In fact, the majority of KVs lost in the first days/weeks of Barbarossa, never saw any action at all. They simply broke down and were left littering the roads. Relatively few were lost to combat, the majority of the archive photos show them completely unmarked..Jim

If it was broke down before action,how about "knock,knock,anyone home" hits?
