hello, from one straight to another!
i love these hobbyboss kits, you can pick up a kv for £6+£3 postage on creative, the t-34's are £9+£3, so for under 15 you can get a great quater scale kit. anyway, my last hobbyboss t-34 was the 34/85, my first foray into hobbyboss 1/48 armor and that build took me a month to complete. and after finishing my Captured KV1 im stoked about building some more 48th stuff. this kit comes with around 15 sprues, a rear intake cover with PE moulded into it, and a full interior. for £12 overall i think its a bargain.
some peopel have reported warpage of some parts, but i had no trouble in my last build, so lets hope this one is simple

so to start with i placed the suspention springs in behind the fuel tanks, filed in some holes in the firewall and added some minor details
enjoy





and that is all for now!
keep watching!

Is it just me or is that a huge amount of flash on the ammo rounds?

Yo scott,
i thought something was up, but , its not flash its actually the ammo rack itself,
if you look on the topmost round, you can see a shadow just underneath the tip
