Out side almost done with assembling the outside parts. Need to add grab handles to turret. Decided to build the T-34 engine and to add the fuel injector lines The oversized exhaust and air filter was built from the spares box. The air filter was a Mig-15 intake cover. Still Russian. Not sure if I'm going to add them to the KV yet. The engine next to it is a Merlin from Tamiya's Lancaster kit. Now I'm working on the crew and the tow cables. Going to use picture hanging wire for them. Gary S. XLV MMXX
 
Looking Good there Gary! Good idea on the tow cables they will add a lot to the over appearance.
:victory:

Base color applied to tank and crew. The KV-1 had a crew of 5, But kit only has 4 figures. I have an extra crew figure somewhere, but haven't found it. Off to the drying closet!! Gary S. XLV MMXX
 
The commander looks like he's cuttin' some moves or something.

Lovin' the tones and weathering Gary, git'er done! :vgood:
 
Gary, shouldn't the Za be in front of the Rodynu? "For the Motherland!" Za is for in Russian.

Thanks. Sorry my Russian is not so good. I though that it was a number 3. I have since changed that decal on that side. In the process of removing the old decal some of the green paint came off exposing the red primer underneath. I then placed some tape to the lt. side and removed a little paint from there. One saying on the lt. side and a different one on the rt. Haven't been able to remove any paint from the chassis yet. Also di a basic paint job on the base this am. Gary S. XLV MMXX
