German Pz.Kpfm KV-2 754 (r)

It will be a great build for sure by combining a nice set from Voyager with one of Trumpeter's best (and original) efforts.
Did you buy the fender set as well?

As requested, pictures of the Voyager Model PE set.
From past experience, the Voyager Model parts are easy to work with and their instruction sheet is better than most. Itching to get going on this, but that working for a living thing is getting in the way! :woohoo:

Thanks guys! Today was one of those modeling days where you know you have to cover a lot of ground in a short time, so naturally, everything seems more difficult! I built Trumpeter's KV-1 two years ago and it practically fell together, this one is a different story! In typical Russian fashion, it has resisted German takeover every step. :laugh:
During assembly of the hull, I have to break out the Binford 2000 Gap Reducer.
Just when I thought I was in the clear, more gaps!!
Going back to the archives for this technique, courtesy of Mr T, solder welds.
I used thin CA glue to attach .022 silver solder along the gaps, then used the back of my Xacto to make the weld texture.
I added several more welds, then tackled the first of the PE mesh grilles. The Voyager Model grilles do not form as easily as the Aber set I used on my last KV, but I managed to wrestle them together.
That's about it for today, need to finish some stuff around the house and then back to work tomorrow.
Thanks for looking, let me know what you think.

Thanks, fells! I appreciate the positive vibes!! Made a little progress since the last update, made grab handles, added lift rings (although they seem to have slid from their intended places from handling, gotta fix that) made several PE parts and started the figures that arrived Friday night.
There's more, but it's dinner time!! I'll post up the rest of the progress tomorrow.

This is highly recommended unless you have a set of Moskit exhausts in your stash...
