Tim’s Trumpeter KV-7 in 1/35

[Tim Marlow]

Yep, but they made a couple of dozen chassis before they were cancelled. These were used for subsequent bunker buster trials with the 152 gun.

I shouldn't have wanted to be inside it when it fired, or on the receiving end either.

Hi Tim
When you get fit and instruction issues it show how important it is to read and plan ahead and dry fit. Common sense but how many times do we say to ourselves "I should have left part A1 until later 'cause now part B1 is going to be a b****r to get in place!!" :rolling:
Nice neat progress. After your 'little people' it will seem massive.

Yep, I always look a couple of pages ahead Jim. It certainly does seem massive after the little lads, but I’m starting to adjust now…

Me neither. It would be a bit like having your head inside Big Ben when it strikes….

Well, I did finish an armoured car for the shelf Queen GB last year, and did a Panther on the old MM site, so you can’t have been paying attention Andy
As far as I can see tanks are just like figures, only they are bigger, have less eyes and have more tracks LOL….

[Lee Drennen]

Yep, I’m enjoying it Lee, so thanks for the GB. As to the box art, it’s really nice. Much better than the instructions LOL.

Glad your enjoying it and your welcome

Looking good so far Tim, nothing worth throwing the toys out of the pram for ,probably a bit out of practice things that if you were at the plastic full time you'd have just called them prats and probably knew what was comming anyway. A good lesson to all though to look before you leap and dry fit dry fit dry fit don't care who's (manufacturer) it is nothings perfect. Keep it coming Tim can't wait for the paint , once we all start splashing that about the gb really comes alive ,had a couple of days off so mines ready for primer will try and take pics and post ASAP.

I don’t think I’ve ever thrown the toys out over a kit Dave. Done it over plenty of other things, but never a kit……my aim here is to point out potential pit falls to the less experienced. I’m not in the slightest bit phased by any of it so far
I think I’m a good week off the paint, still working through the wheels at the moment.….but at last it isn’t German, so no road wheel tyres to paint up…..

[Allen Dewire]

Finally found your build Tim and I'm late as usual. Is it finished yet??? With those link and length tracks, you should be done by tomorrow at the latest. Have you run into any more probs with it??? Hope not............

Not done yet, life’s been in the way a bit since Tuesday….
Just a couple of new minor faults Allen. The wheels were also a little “furry” around the edges so took a while to clean up. Just the return rollers and the strengthened front wheel set to do now though, then tracks…..weird how yours, mine, and John‘s are different for what is basically the same kit. No etch in mine either…..

[Graeme C.]

Looking Good Tim, you seem to be working your way around the kits issues.:thumb2:

[Guest]

Tim .Are you gluing the idlers and drive sprockets on ? Left mine loose for the moment
See from the photo of the front there is quite a difference between yours and the KV 2 .

Following with interest, loving the detail :hungry:

[Tim Marlow]

Well,

Looking Good Tim, you seem to be working your way around the kits issues.:thumb2:

Gradually getting through them Graeme. Nothing earth shattering, more just thinking ahead….
