Hello friends

This is the Trumpeter KV-2 kit, build about 3 years a go, not being the best kit in the world i think is not that bad and it allows to build a very nice representation of the best!
The Figures are Miniart, the officer one has a Hornet head the "big guy" is 100% Miniart.
I hope you like it.






























cheers

Vitor,
Very nice KV-2! The streaking looks great, and your figures are very well done! I have little knowledge of Soviet tanks. Were the road wheels rubber-rimmed?

Hi Gary

Im not an expert neither They are all metal, in this kit i applied a very dark metallic colour, almost gun metal, even if i applied a a shinny metal colour on the edges, the mate varnish some how "cut" the metallic look.
Maybe i should applied a brighter metallic colour.

Thank you

Vitor,

Looks great! I especially like the decals are they kit water slide or dry transfers? Either way they like like you painted them on - nice work!
