KV-1 Model 1941

Very nice work. Weathering is well done -no too much, not too little. Enough to make it look like it been in use. What's the manufacturer of the kit?

Bill, Excellent build! On your tracks I like the weathering, wear, color and sag. I know very little about these vehicles except that they gave the Germans something to think about when they first appeared on the battlefield and couldn’t knock them out without having to be up close with the tanks that they were using against them at that time. For a single monotone color scheme you’ve done a terrific job on bringing life and interest throughout the vehicle. Good choice on the chains as they do look the part. On these vehicles I don’t know if the tracks would have loosened up so quickly in the field but again they were a rather heavy tank. Other than that I must agree with ‘Aurora-7’ that it looks as though the vehicle has not been in service for very long. The mud and dirt build up on the inside lower hull looks very convincing as does the heavily worn and chipped paint on the road wheel running surfaces. Sooner or later I’m going to have to build me one of these. Thanks for the inspiration . . . -Eddy

Awesome job
