1/35 Tamiya KV-1

January 5, 2023 · in Armor · · 11 · 0.6K

My latest build, new (ish) Model 1941. I added resin fuel tanks, resin bedrolls, and some tarps made out of Milliput. For the basecoat I used a mix of Tamiya's acrylics that I got from an old 1/48 KV-2 article written by Marcus Nicholls from Tamiya Model Magazine #137! I knew that old pile of magazines would come in handy...Thanks for looking, for more photos please check out my website at http://www.lylesmodels.com

  1. Excellent result, Scott! Happy New Year!

  2. Great looking armor, Scott @slyle
    Very nice result on the painting and weathering.

  3. The extras you fitted plus the weathered finish make for a great looking tank. I never throw old magazines away.

  4. I really like the paintwork and weathering on this. Excellent work.

  5. Beautiful work @slyle! 👍 That is a great looking tank model, and your extras add just the right tough! 🍻

  6. That weathering is extra tasty!

  7. Thanks all! It's a big tank, it dwarfs the Panzer IIs and IIIs on my display shelf..

  8. Nice job on this beast.

  9. Oooooooo she's hot. That is one hell of a finish job. The streaking and dust and fading are done to perfection.
    All these years and I never thought to drag down some white from the slogan, which were chalked on in most cases. Great touch. An outstanding KV all the way.

    • Thanks Bill. I never would have thought of the streaking from the slogan either but I noticed it in this picture:
