This is the KV 1 Mod 1942 with the heavy cast turret.I painted it with the camo scheme as seen on the boxart.
I used Hudson and Allen Slush on it to simulate gunk getting thrown up on it from passing through a snowy ladscape.

Looks very cold and wet. Nice winter effects. My favorite is the wet and muddy tracks

Nice work there.

I got cold just looking at it.

How did you acheive the icy effects?

Now that's cold! Looks like this tank just crossed a snowy river.

Care to share how you did that?

That looks pretty cool Carl.

The cold "effect " is the Hudson and Allen "slush".It conmes in a bag as a dry powder.It has a dirty snow look to it.I mixed it with a bit of water,like I do with their "Mud" product.I used a large brush,and slopped it on.Those pictures were taken shortly after application,and before it had totally dried.
This morning,it still had the wet look..
I recommend Hudson and Allen products. (++) (++)

Great KV there Carl What brand of white paint did you use? (++) (++) (++) (++)

Nice effect Carl. Looks very winter like. You planning to put this one into a dio?

Looking nice.....keep up the great work

Thanks for sharing your technique. It looks really good.

Just like slush from wet snow.

Base coat,MM Russian Armor Green,#2129
White paint,the little square bottle of Testor's flat white,it went on a bit grainy,PERFECT!!!
Mask for the green camo areas.
Black watercolor paint thinned for wash.
Field drab as the dirty mud color.
Hudson and Allen "slush" for the snowy slush effect.

PS for show purposes,I will take an IMEX display case,and put that white vinyl type wall plaster stuff on as "snow".I will do a little mixed in Hudson and Allen mud on line with the tracks.Not as a dio,but to expand the Kold feeling.

Looks great, Carl. I like the icy effect you have going there. Make me feel cold.

Now you need to get the Trumpeter (TRP-0358) KV-1 M1942 Simplified Turret

These KV kits are great, arn't they

Cheers !!
