Dear friends,

I would like to present to you my recently completed model of KV-2 in service with the Germans.

It was done for a good friend of mine, who chose this specific color pattern.

I dont have a lot of experience with modeling and painting yet, most of my proffesional experience is from digital art hehe. But I do enjoy making this a lot, especially with a giant selection of finishing products available to us these days.

Hopefully you like it.

Great looking build.

I really like your build. You did a good job with the paint scheme. Not sure if it is correct for the time period (guessing late 1941) but it looks good to me. I really like how your tracks came out. One thing to consider are the fuel cans on the fenders. They are american style cans. I doubt they would have been available to the russians at this point in the war. I recommend swapping them for german jerry cans or deleting them. If you use german cans make sure to tie them down. Again great job on that beast!

Great work Roman, very realistic weathering of the running gear and tracks, and the camo looks stunning.

Very nice Roman, good paint job!

If you do not mind a constructive comment, I would say that the cross looks too clean and bright compared with the rest of the tank (and seems to be slightly tilted). Other than that, I like it a lot

You bring a great artistic eye to your subject. I think it looks great! All I can offer you are some small nitpicks.

Stowage can often appear out of place -- remember, these AFVs are lumbering across terrain and can be shaken quite a bit. Note the loose helmets, cable on left fender, the loose fuel cans. They'd either be strapped onto tie downs or quickly lost. Also, the thickly chained 55 gallon drum on the right fender -- if filled, it'd be several hundred pounds. And with no way to access it or roll it down to the ground, what's the point? The few times you see tanks hauling actual drums are very few and generally, are for long fixed marches where they're acting as a big hauler for stuff -- not as a normal combat load.

Hope these help!

Very, very good looking model for a beginner

Really nice weathering and finish work!

Good job Roman
