KV-1 TypeC by Tamiya (1/35) Completed.

[bluriusz]

Hello!

Thanks for watching the build thread (http://www.scale-models.co.uk/thread...-type-c.27225/).

I've finished it today. Was really struggling with the tracks. They were falling apart pretty much every couple minutes while working on the rest. I'm not happy with them, but still better than rubber crap. I've also had problems with decals. I think it was due to the age of the kit (42 years old!) and they haven't come off the decal sheet even after good 10 minutes spent in water. Finally I've managed to put on the small one instead of "For Stalin", which I wanted to put on. Plus it silvered a bit.

Anyways, there's the result:

Ufff..

What to do next?

I like the style of this tank...you have do a very personal weathering. The turret and those subtle touchs looks magnificent.

Great build

Awesome looking Tank,really nice touch on the weathering! Very nicely done Sir!

[Guest]

That's excellent Bart! I love the shade of the mud, that's just like many pictures I've seen of Russian tanks from 1943 onwards.

You've got the perfect blend of weathering where it all hangs together & nothing looks overdone.

Top job sir!

Cheers
