I built that kit recently and it is a great kit to build. I like the grills on the engine deck- are they scratchbuilt?

Aah this remains one of my favorite Trumpeter kits. It is a brilliant thing OOTB and it is easy to do some improvements yourselve without the aid of much AM stuff. Great job on this beast your additions look the part.

I have one of these partly built with some mine damage. Yours might just be the inspiration needed to finish it some day.

Very impressive KV II. I have one in the stash just waiting to be wrecked.
Did you have any issues with the tracks ?? I know both the KV I and II kit tracks have LOTS of sink holes.

Hi Rob

I had some trouble with the tracks. You must have sanding the links, but the main problem was other I couldnīt close caterpillar, I separated a little each track to close it. Had half track more o less for close it.

Hi Jeff

Thanks by your comments, I used humbrol Nro 86 like base color. First it had gave a little touch with a mix of humbrol 33 and 100 on the ends.-

Very nice build and paint job Omar. The nets over the grills look very good ... much better than many of the AM sets provide!. Will you add ground work or figures to this?

Que bueno. I bought this kit as part of my bulk purchase from Hong Kong. Can't wait to build it up after seeing these pics.

I built a Tamiya KV-2 and used those same figures you have there.
