Tim’s Trumpeter KV-7 in 1/35

[Tim Marlow]

Tim your tracks look great and thanks for the tip.

Tim I remember you building Armor your just re-visiting a old friend right lol.

Tim hurry up and get some paint on this thing JR is foaming at the Mouth! Lol.

Cheers Lee. Lovely comments. Glad you have been able to catch up :thumb2:

Very nice Tim, I like a bit more sag in the tracks, when I can get it but yours are looking the part. Primer came out smooth as a babies bum!

[Tim Marlow]

Er….don’t know where to start with that comment Rick….the sag is moulded in on the link and length tracks….and I haven't given it a primer coat yet, that’s just bare plastic. Now I’ve got to try to live up to your expectations

No wonder it's so SMOOTH!! That's interesting about the tracks They looked different from the previous shot......thought you might have tweaked 'em some.......My Bad please disregard......Matron!

I think that was the light Rick. I photographed it under halogen rather than the LEDs on the other workbench….as to the tracks, the other shot was on its side with only one track on. These were with both tracks on, sat as it should be.

[Mini Me]

I'm OK......so many Tracky things going on I might have got a bit of cornfused!!! :thinking:

[Tim Marlow]

Well, nearly there……should get paint by the end of next week…..





Volley gun is on, including it’s armoured umbrella. Whoever thought of that idea probably ended up in a gulag somewhere nasty. I really can’t see how it would be effective.

I decided not to do anything to the vodka cans, the ends aren’t that visible really..

This strange beast really shows off the Russian standardisation process though. The crew hatches are the same as the engine hatches, for example.

All that’s left before primer is the tow cable and mounts on the side of the casemate. Quite a plain beastie all told, not even any decals to liven it up.

Cheers Rick. Apparently they all fired at the same time :upside: Here is an image of the breech….



No decals’cos it was a prototype with no markings

Cheers on the avatar as well.

Yow!!!...a "three shooter"......well that's half a six shooter! leave it to the Rooskies to come up with that! :tongue-out3: If you wanted to "doll" up your build, you might put a couple of those crooked slogan decals we're always seeing on their stuff.....you know, "Eat a Ivan's" or "Vlad's Fresh Fruit" etc. :tongue-out2: Oh wait, Those slogans were political in nature......best to leave 'em off.....we wouldn't want to upset the "Mods".
