KV-2 ( 1/72 Trumpeter )

[Spartan]

Well I have just made a start on my KV-2 tank. I have added a few items to the hull of the tank. I will be adding some details that have been missed or filled in.
The handles up the sides of the turret will be removed and replaced with wire. One of the hatches on the turret will be open also.
The gun barrel will be charged to a 152mm one from RB model.

With me brush painting would it be wise to paint the sides of the hull and the wheels before fitting the wheels on this particular kit.

Either way will work, I think. The wheels on KV and IS tanks are fairly small and some distance from the hull, so I suspect you can get a brush behind them just fine. OTOH, if you want to be sure, just paint first.

Nice to see you sticking with the small stuff Kevin. Will it be dirty and covered in mud??
