Trumpeter 1/35 scale KV-2 WIP

Post by KalebB »

Hello all. Currently working on a Trumpeter KV-2.

I neglected to take pics during construction but this is the current state of the model





First time airbrushing in a long, long time.

Enjoying the build however so I will be posting progress pics from here on out till the completion of the kit and maybe a small Dio if I'm feeling froggy.

Cheers all :banana: :cheers2:

Currently in the weathering stage of the KV-2 build.

Has been a rather enjoyable build and are fairly pleased with how it's turning out :banana:

Newest progress on the KV-2. :banana:

Just tracks and a bit more weathering to be done on her and I'll call it good. First build since coming back and it's feeling amazing :thumb1:
