Completed......Trumpeter 1/35 WW2 Russian KV-5 Super Heavy Tank.

[spanner570]

This is another for my Grandson's growing stack of armour.

No aftermarket stuff or extra P.E. I get all the fun I need trying to get the best I can out of what's in the box. Plus, as a bonus, this usually gives me with enough wonga to buy a couple of nice kits.

Brush painted with Vallejo Air acrylics and weathered with the same, plus a bit of work with a pencil. All streaks and stains and to his specification. - "Just a bit, please. "

































Cheers all.
Ron

Thanks to all for your most excellent posts. Judging by the great contents, His Lordship will be happy for it to be an addition to his 'Armour' shelf.

Just to give a better idea of the size of the tank, this morning I've taken some shots of the thing with a trio of Russian soldiers filing past.

Here you go......








Cheers all and thanks again for all your input. Much appreciated.

Great pictures Ron. Shows that this was a big beast all right.

 

[spanner570]

Thanks Tim.
Yes indeed, including the figures in the photos does give a better idea that had it gone into production, just how big this 'Paper' tank would have been,

It is intuitively obvious 570, that this is a large vehicle.........you have just removed all doubt! What a "Monster" it is I didn't know you had added more pics. to the thread.........those "Rooskies" bring it all into scale. Rick H.

Lady and Gents, I thank you.
