Hi Guys, feel free to tear into it. We all know 1/32 is the ugly stepchild. lol I did not do anything to the chassis other than painting. Thanks for the feed back!

Nice scratch work! Do you intend to have a figure looking out of the hatch?

Nothing that I can see to criticise either

Great work!

Is the rest scrach as well or did you find a 1/32nd scale KV chassis from somewhere?

Hi Guys, thanks!

It's a 1/32 KV1 from forces of valor. 1/32 models leave a lot to be desired for, but I enjoy practicing on them!

Alex the only thing I was able to pick up on is the rear turret MG which should from memory have another tube below the barrel. That said I think you have done a great job.

The rolled plate is very convincing. Some of the Forces of Valor pieces aren't bad. I've considered upgrading the HIMARS but as soon as I finished a 1/35 kit would come out.
Nice work.
