I had a KV-2 as a test model so I stripped the paint with Mr. Muscle (lost some items and the decals scrubbing it), tried hairspray technique and applied mud with white glue and pastels. The KV-2 looks IMHO better without fenders. It's my first weathered model like this.

Hi,
That maybe I'll start. Looks like a winner, no fenders adds to its charm. Great painted tracks. Cool did the mud. Very nice work.

The lack of fenders certainly emphasize the tallness of this tank. I just built the Tamiya version and found it to be pretty easy to assemble. Is the Trumpeter much harder? Did you use the kit tracks?

Nice work here Schwarzadler, you will have to send us a series of pictures for a feature on the site.

I bought it as my first kit since decades, if it's harder than the Tamiya I don't know, probably not. The tracks are the styrene link and length from the kit.


Really? T(h)anks! Where do I send them to?

Send them to [email protected] along with a short write up.

That's really nicely turned out. I like the omission of the fenders and the weathering came out very nice!
