I'm sure I saw Plasmo do a partially submerged KV2 a while ago.....

Yes he did a very nice one Andrew. There are photos of a KV 2 in a bog, which I have done before, though that was in the spring or summer .This time however I thought I'd do the winter version . I don't know if the real one had happened in the winter, it certainly didn't have any trace of any winter wash .
A search if the net and books will have to take place I think , I'd like to do true life one if possible. .

Oh so now its playing ball ,when I tried to post just now it told me I had insufficient something or other to post here? Any way still keeping the build close to my chest but to show willing got hold of these two usually go with mig /ammo yellow top stuff but thought I'd give these a run out(not that I havent used mr hobby aqueous before)so not long now then.

One is 4BO the other 4BO1947? The later looking a nicer shade but as I say 4BO bit of a enigma much like the old panzer gray. Dave

You where trying to post in a DEAD THREAD. Once a GB is approved and given a place of its own, the thread that was for the suggestion of a GB Gets closed and moved out of the way.
To avoid any further confusion the "parking slot" has been removed from view.

Considering the variations in manufacturing in a middle of a war, near enough would have done. Of course you could always excite Bob by painting it Grey David:smiling3:

Yeh green is green didn't realise these were available in the aqueous range so just thought I'd give em a squirt instead of all the other jars and bottles I've got with 4BO written on them. As I said John 4BO and panzer grey a bit of a enigma ,trouble is Bob likes his grey I prefer ìt more on the faded levi shade of blue ,not a stug but have got a marder 111? I think to build at some point that definitely comes in grey. Dave

What's the betting none of the manufacturers match !

[Lee Drennen]

Well here I go again after studying these instructions I think I can build this with no problems at first glance I was a little intimidated but this will be my build. Sorry guys for changing my mind so much.

I like it.....I think you will enjoy it Lee....being a Tammy Kit, it should "fall" together for you. Looking forward to the GB. Rick H.

Lee,
build them all! I never cottoned on the the Tamiya 1/48 tanks - the diecast chassis - why? Braille scale tanks manage without it - ?????

Does give them a bit of heft Dave, but don’t quite get it myself either. Great choice though, probably my favourite RussIan tank.

Fall together is right,shake the box long enough and it'll come out done!
