Hey Sami
Nice looking KV you got there. I like the weathering and muddy look you got going on there.. Care to fil us in on how you achieved it? I built the same kit not to long ago and had some issues with the decals, you have any problems with yours?

You did a very fine job on that kit. Nice weathering too especially the mud.

Cheers

Thanks, nice to hear you like it!

For weathering I used Mig pigments and especially pigment called "Allied green(fading)" which gave nice old look for tank.

Dry mud is made by using Mig "Dry mud" pigment + plaster + Mig acrylig resin and Vallejo matt varnish.

I had some problems with decals because I managed to break the other decal, but gladly there is two of those slogans in the kit.
