started by building the lower half of the hull, this consists of three main pieces, a hull bath tub and two sides plates, once these were assembles the suspension/ running gear was attached, these fit lovely to the hull with no problems at all, next up was the turret, this is a very big turret, again no problems with this at all, so far this is proving to be a nice kit to build

Anyway this is where its at the moment , hope you like it

Very interesting pic I'm actually excited to see this.


This would have been heer gerbals dream propaganda material, an obsolete chassis looking like a victor over a monster.

Nice to have you along Aaron


You could almost read the headlines from Herr Gerbals


"David slays Goliath"

Interesting looking tank Tommy. Wouldn't be the only imaginative bollocks Goebbels came up with.

Managed to get a little more done on this one, the wheels are finished, just a little more to do on the turret and then onto the tracks, thinking of replacing the kit fenders/track guards with pe, this will help with the look of the track guards as on the picture of the KV look battered and damaged, hope you like it so far

Got my attention. Often been tempted by the big turret.. But resisted so far. Looking at the photo I cn imagine the finished diorama.
