Having got the APC on the BT7 chassis built and primed(see armour under construction) thought I'd play by the rules and let it cure fully for a few days so pulled this from the stash to fill in vacant time . Got it from Jadar hobbies Poland some time back now on arrival opened the box and quickly replaced it again very disappointed but having kept up with Raceys KV2 trials and tribulations decided to get it back down and reassess the situation.
As you can see from the sprue shot it ain't all that but went with the waste not want not and made a start ,although the parts aren't that good so far fit of parts has been brilliant, ,got the hull tub and running gear assembled saving the black placky link and length for later started to muck about with the rest. Replaced turret grab handles with some from brass rod also used some rod to put hinges and clasp/handles on the fender bins. The hull and turret mg's were utterly rubbish replaced them with some aluminium tubing ,quite cool i dont think you could drill out the barrel on the plastic one's.
Will finish the build then prime up at the same time as I put some green on the BT7 ,interesting reading on Raceys build the talk about turret slogans on KV's pictures of are practically non existent, if thoes decals are any good im having slogans on mine for the sole reason that every panzer 3 and 4 ,panther ,tiger you name it model built seems to have a statutory galvanised bucket hung on the back:hungry:.
