Trumpeter KV1 Painting and Weathering (Build Part 2) 

Хорошая работа, товарищ!

that was an excellent video my friend thanks for sharing

Hi Tom, for this video I'm one of those "who prefer the vicarious experience of spectating" and, yeah, I found it entertaining! Thanks again for sharing your work.

It's nice work. Also, it's easy to understand your work by step by step building and painting. thanks for sharing.

Hey Tomas fantastic build and tips stay safe cheers

Very nice work. Greetings. Aleš 😎👍

very cool Tom!

You do good work broseph! Your building and painting road wheels separately is a great technique, I tend to build them all at once and then kick myself when I can't get full paint coverage! Thank you

Good video 👍

the weathering looks realy great! cheers✌

Mr. Tomas Barak, That was an outstanding video. You my friend make great realistic military models. Kudos to you.

Another great video Thomas more please. Stay safe.

Very good and helpful video, good ideas and tricks, really very good, thank you for that :-)))

Great weathering. 👍

Hi Tomas, it looks like Trumpeter delivers a pretty decent build and fit. The painting is wonderful. Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us.

Great channel! Subbed

Great videos, as always! 👍👍 I built both this model & Trumpeter's "Ekranami" KV-1 about 10 to 15 years ago, and I have no recollection of the obvious gaps, fit problems & problematic flash that you encountered. So, I think you were absolutely correct when you suggested that the molds are getting old & in desperate need of retooling. Also, I wonder if individual molds can shift or deform with time as well, which would explain the gaps & fit problems. Nevertheless, as you clearly demonstrated, the problems were not difficult to solve...just a bit more time on construction before the fun painting/weathering could take place. And, I love the finish you gave the big beast! It looks like it has been rolling around in the mud & marshes while chasing Nazis near the KV factory in Leningrad (*)....but the kit's good detail & blocky, intimidating lines have not been obscured. 👍👍 Well done Tomas! 😊 (*) After reading about (a) some of the shocking & frequently deadly encounters with the KV-1 that the Germans experienced by while manning their Pz. Kpfw III & IV tanks, and (b) the surprising vulnerability of the early T34 tanks, I happen to believe that the KV-1 is much more responsible for rattling the confidence of the Panzer divisions during Barbarrossa than its sleeker, more highly-lauded Soviet comrade. IMHO, the T34 really seemed to imprint itself on the memories of Panzer leaders during the Soviets's desperate counter-attacks as the 'Rasputitsa' arrived....then again, during the first bitterly cold snowy winter of the Soviet-Axis War, when the Germans approached & stalled in front of the gates of Moscow. It was at this point that the T-34 gained a nickname, "the Snow King(s)", in honour of the T-34's speed & superior maneuverability in conditions that frustrated the Germans & even limited the KV-1. To my knowledge, the KV-1, while feared, never received any sort of complimentary nickname from its adversaries like the T-34 did.

Great build video was very good, when blending the oil streaks did you have thinner on your brush? Or was it dry

I'm building this and adding heavy chipping and battle damage. But I'm weary of installing these tracks

Undercoating raw steel color you use brown, black and red? But all I can see from the video is black; I don’t really see any brown and red in the mix? 😅

Приветствую! Отличная работа! Только на декали буква "Н" не дописана... "гадиНу'

How much dilution for the main green color on top in order to show the some undercoat of raw steel color? 😅
