Hello everyone.

This is my latest project. A KV-2 Trumpeter winter camo. The technique work is the hair spray applied to the model and then Tamiya XF-2. Finally successive layers of washes and filters. There are still some steps to finalize.

Greetings.

Looks like its real!

Just one problem, I dont think the tracks sagged so dramatically in real life.

EDIT: Looked at a few pictures, some sag, some don't....strange...

Looks good overall to me. Well done.

Sag looks fine to me. Difficult to change in any case unless you buy after market ones as the Trumpeter ones are sections of track pre-sagged with individual links for the drive sprocket and idler only.

This makes me sad....Sad because I will never be able to make something as awesome as this.

Looks good Pablo!! Keep up the good work

@- magicsub (Ted Kay)- No Ted! you also can create such a nice model, you only have to practice on an old model or piece of evergreen plastic cart.
Or i will guide you through

Or ennyone else you like.

These Trumpeter kits do come with a choice of the link and length with the sag or a set of vinyl one piece tracks that fit tight with no sag. You do miss out on the superior detail the link and length offers.

Great build Pablo, the winter scheme looks great and makes this monster look very imposing!

Pablo- I think you really nailed the winter camouflage on this- the dirt and discoloration you have added to it are very effective- overall the weathering is top notch and the track painting is very nice too!
