Here is the Tamiya KV-1C in a winter scheme. The kit is almost OOTB with Trumpeter rubber tracks and some styrene handles. I weathered it with oils and did the chipping with acrylics.

Very Nice Steve. I love the subtle worn look of your weathering. Always nice to see an OOTB (or reasonable fascimile )look so good.

Looks like you've done a great job on the build and the paint! I'd like to see some more pics up close though, to comment any further.

What would make this Tamiya kit more representable, is to drill out the periscopes and exhaust stacks, like what I did with mine!

Very nice look on the whitewash, would echo the desire to see more closeup shots if possible.

I agree with the others. Great job. I like the white washing you have done. More close up shot would be great

Gotta love those KV-1's
