Hi very good job so far , the applique armour on the front should be above the top of the drivers armoured plate not level , it sticks up by 45mm , easy to remidy , cut a new one but add the extra height , remove the kit part and kit new one cheers ian

wire rope form a small factory,I get some for repair my bike but not on
the model.

I used putty to rebuild & fill up,It is innocuity,fastness,easy to mold.
&about 500g just sold about 10 dollars,could use for quite long times.so
I never use tamiya,gunze putty:)

fill the turret:)



IF there are some mistake that I can not find,check out,& I will rebuild it ,

I will share what I done in next week:)

good luck & enjoy your model!

Ying et al,
A friend of mine, Neil Stokes, did a presentation on KV and its variants from a modeling perspective at the last AMPS regional show we has here in the U.S. Here's the link to it. You may find some of the info useful.
KV Seminar
Regards,
Georg

PS: He's also writing a book on the same subject.
