Beutepanzer KV-85

[Piet]

A KV-85 captured(from the russians) and pressed into German service ,
I started this model a long time ago so no built pics.

It is the Trumpeter KV-85 with the wrong shaped turret ,
I remodeled the turret to the correct version (symmetrical)

Also did all the welds (miliput) and the cast texture (Dremmrel tool ,dissolved plastic and paint thinner)
It will get a white wash.

Very nice Piet, but Tanker's Tangle is one of our Campaigns that requires a start up shot of the unbuilt kit for consideration into the campaign.

May I move this to our Armor section?

Looks nice. What technique did you use to distress the white paint?

What technique did you use to distress the white paint?

The hairspray technique ,
Decanted some hairspray in a container.
Rest it for a minute or 2 to get all the aerosol out......... and then i spray it on with the airbrush.

Let it dry ....than spray the white acrylic(Vallejo)on ,
When thats dry i moisture the surface ,then i start chipping with a tooth pick , old stiff brush and a toothbrush.
