Hi All
Im in the process of weathering my KV1. This is my first ever model. ARMORAMA has contributed quite a bit in my learning process. Since It was my first it is OOB. Have not put any effort on research. Check this out. Any any suggestion for improvement is welcome. If you find any faults please feel free to express that. Need to improve my skills anyway...









Have a Great Day

Yeah right... your first model... you kidding me!!!
that's looking very good. I have no words to say.

Keep going like this!
Can yuo explain how you did the mud on the tracks?? they look freakin' awesome!

For a first model, it's very impresssive indeed - nice one! One thing you could pay a bit more attention to, are the bolts - they really do need a bit of 'washing' to bring out the depth in them. Also the rear engine deck could do with some dirtying-up.

In the final analysis, you have done a superb job...Jim

Hi Hilbert - Thanks You made my day. Months of reading ARMORAMA and what do you expect
Thanks again.

Hi Jim - Thanks for the pointers. Will try to do something about it. Currently washing the tow cables. Will update once completed.

That is a very impressive KV-1 How were the turret decals to apply? I really like them What green did you use?

Hi Chad
I do not know the quality since this was my first. One of my friend's comment on the decal was that it was not very good. Mine even had few air bubbles even while it was on the decal sheet. I followed my friends suggestion and used settingsol to soften the decal after applying and sealed it off with gloss then another flat coat. The green is a mixture of Mr.Color russian green, flat yellow and semi gloss black. I am not sure what is the exact propostion. I kept changing the mixture untill I could match the color on one of the reference pic I got from tankshaven. Happy to hear that you like it.
Have a Great Day

you havin a laugh :-)
