I'm starting Trumpeter's KV-2 and was wondering if there are any build logs / photo features / articles out there I might use as inspiration. Thanks.

Hi Bill...don't know of any build logs out there but if you need assistance with photos or drawings of anything, post here or e-mail me and I'll be glad to help.
Cheers,
Neil

Thanks, Neil. I read through your recipe on 4bogreen.com yesterday and it seems like the Trumpeter kit (#00312) doesn't require too many corrections to build up accurately. Cheap AND accurate ... now that's a good deal.

Here is the start of my blog on a KV-2 but it is the Tamiya kit. First of all, you have the right kit. It took me a "bit" of work to correct this ancient kit. Mr. Stokes was very kind in helping me along with the build.

Hi Brandon - Thank you for the kind words. I'm not certain I'll be doing a build log for the KV-2 ... just poking around for inspiration. Sergiusz Peczek's build photos on planetArmor are fantastic and even though they're out of order and don't have much explanatory text, I may just try to follow along. Anyone know whether his KV-2 was ever published?
