1/35 Meng Toon tank KV 2

[JR]

Hi John
Hope your daughter and your friend continue to recover. Also hope your AB woes get sorted - you new compressor looks good - let us know how you get on with it.
Back to the build. Looking good now. That huge turret looks mad on the real thing but extra mad on a 'toon'.

Hi Jim , thanks, Kay is having to take I to easy as the bruising heals. Ray is feeling ok, get tired if he does too much .
Waiting to get some varnish on so I can do the decals and weathering.
New comp should be here tomorrow.
Very helpful at Air Net , sent me a PayPal invoice to do an addition to the order as I needed a difft connector for the H,& S, this saved paying postage if I'd ordered on line.

Looks great fun, doing a smashing job John

Thanks Steve, actually had been fun, and so well engineered , makes a difference from some kits I've had .

No, Mike fear not, the model was washed in the kitchen !
Re the bench, this is the newly introduced cutting mat that comes ready cut, complete with paint markings.
If your ever suffered from withdrawal systoms from running a brand new this is the way to go. Available to order direct from Race Towers.
Just woken up at nearly 0400, now armed with tea and toast .

0400, what is that, sorry no,
Mike

Right after a somewhat long delay due to ab / compressor problems I seem to be nearly up to date. Quite a stack waiting to be painted, unfortunately I missed laid the canopy for the So that can sit until I eventually find it.

The Toon up date
Hope that Pete approves, i've not gone over the top with the weathering . Pleased with how its turned out.




All that remains is a flat varnish coat and a small base to set it off along with a few bits of vegetation.

Hi John
Looks good. Whoever designs these Toons does a very clever job. There's no mistaking the tank/plane/ship that they're based on and yet they're so simplified and distorted.

Thanks , Jim its one of the best models I have ever built, if the rest of Meng stuff is the same then they have a winner.

Hi John you've made a much better job of your one than I did, look forward to see what kind of base you're gonna put it on.
Hope you enjoyed building it all you got to do now is build the kv-1 and the T-34 to complete the Russian Toon tank corps .

Just an Idea.

Hi John

Nice job on the toon sir. Now I know this may be a can of worms opening question however since I plan on building a Russian tank (when the post delivers it) I was wondering what colour you recommend using for the famous 4BO? I am open to as many opinions as you may have on the subject.

Hi John, thanks for looking in and your comment.
As to paint, I use Vallejo green primer then Vallejo Model Air 71.017. 4BO.
If i was going to chipping I'd use brown primer, then apply the chipping fluid etc etc. I've never used any other make, so can't comment on their greens.
HTH.

John,
That's a cracking result my friend. Hope your daughter and friend are recovering well.

Thanks Paul , yes they are both well. Kay is back at work in March, but has been doing a lot from home.
