Nice to meet you everybody. I'm Chinese and I like WWII Allied especialy US force AFVs.
My first post is a KV-1 M1941 (Trumpeter 00356).






PS: If you find any error about my English, just point out. thank you for helping my English studing.

cheer

what color did you use to paint that, nice color

Looks good. I think your weathering is well done. And your English is fine.

Hi Lt. Willy. Welcome to Armorama .. and what a start! Your KV looks great ... especially the green colour you have used and the slight sheen it has. Both are perfect in my eyes, and with the subtle weathering this is just appetising my taste. Nice one. Hopefully we will see more ofyour work?

Very nice. Are the plugs to the pistol ports going in?

Welcome to Armorama Your KV 1 looks great - very good effect on the tracks and the chipping effect.

Thanks for sharing your work

Welcome to Armorama! Can't think of a better way to say "hello" myself.

I used MW oiliness plastic model colors made in china. In fact it's not very good! Hard for mixing color, the surface of painting is coarseness, color faded and other changes after painted often make me crazy.... I used a light yellow but gray as primer, then print green(mixed), this change will make green lighter but blanch. I think you can make a better effect with much better Mr Hobby or Tamiya and other model colors.



Thank you. But English is not an easy job for me....



Thank you. I'd like to enjoy models with you everyone.



Thank you.



Yes. I removed the plastic plugs and drilled holes for copper plugs from Voyager Models . At the same time, I replaced plastic barrel with aluminium one(Voyager Models released a package of a aluminium barrel and three copper pistol port plugs in China. Cost a little more than one dollar! ). But unfortunately, I lost my three metal plugs and parts of DT MGs.... If I could get spare parts from my friend, I will fill the holes.
BTW: Aluminium barrel is not very good about its length and shape. Even I couldn't find out it is a L-11barrel or a F-32barrel....



Thank you. Nice to meet you.

That's a really nice KV-1 you've got there. I like the slight sheen to the paint - it makes it look very convincing, like it's metal and heavy.

Look forward to seeing more of your work!
