Trumpeter 1/35 KV-2 German Captured

[shinai]

So this is the third model kit that I have done and decided to forgo what the Trumpeter kit recommend as far as the camo paint job and decided to do a winter camo job.

Here are the pics so far.  Next is  a layer of future a pin wash and then working on weathering.

Critiques and feedback are welcomed.  Baseless praise appreciated.

Very nice

Indeed good looking machine there, and nice choice of subject. I always wondered how something with such a huge melon could avoid taking a hit in it

Looks very good in a W/W,and it's well executed.Your chipping&scratch effects look very nice as well,and your choice of winter white on this beast was a great choice as it makes a superb canvas for weathering.I'all be watching this one for sure......keep up the good work!

Cheers

As a follow-up I did a pin wash and have done some weathering i.e. streaking. . . . .

Any advice on how long I should let the streaking sit to dry?  I used the AK interactive streaking and from what I can tell maybe a couple of days before I apply a second layer.

Also, check out barter's KV2 that thing is awesome and has giving me some inspiration.

Hey Shinai!!  Nice WW!!!  Looking forward to seeing this after the washes and streaks.

As for the AK a day or two is all you would need.  At least from what I do.  The first coat should stay put, but sometimes a will add a quick light clear coat to insure that they stay put.  Keep it coming!!

Thanks TRM - I will try and post more pics today or tomorrow.

That is one nicely battered paintjob you have there. Already looking forward to the weathering.

That distressed winter look is spot on, looks great.

Looks great! Let's see some new pics!
