Hi John
That background information was really interesting - thanks. It certainly was a big old monster. I hope you have success with the tracks this time around.
Hope all goes well with the eye test.

Andy, you're talking about the guy who has a T-34 bedspread and Tank slippers.....guess what color he painted his garden shed....it's a whole lifestyle we're talking about here!!!You think he'd get bored with plain green after a while wouldn't you????
I bet it makes the stugs look positively terrified as well LOL….Makes your StuGs look positively streamlined!!
Great background info John, always loved the KV 2.
Front row seat ready when you are Mick.
.Thanks Jim, yes I must beat this fear, Paul suggests doing them on tape, so might give that a shot.
No fair.... you've had practice building these green monsters!!
Rick H.
Well a few Rick.
.Welcome Andrea , always room for you.

Plenty of shades to choose from Andrew, including ice green and snow !
Thanks Paul, plenty of Sculptamold , insulation foam and maybe some resin water, , oh and a lot of plastic.
It was most pleasing when I found out the green paint was exactly the same as 4BO, well you can imagine the excitementAndy, you're talking about the guy who has a T-34 bedspread and Tank slippers.....guess what color he painted his garden shed....it's a whole lifestyle we're talking about here!!!
Your spot on there Tim, it just slapped them around .
Thanks Tim. Although a lumbering beast its always been one of my favorites.
Might have started this afternoon but following a hrs eye examination I felt it would be better to rest it . However following the examination and countless photos of both eyes looking up, down, left and right and straight ahead I was glad to be told " It's looking ok and no change from a year ago "
So I can carry on !
So I can carry on !
John thanks for all the information I’m sure I’ll be using some of it. Seat and ready to smell the glue.
Yes it sure is Gerry .A tank worthy of the title of 'Tank'!
No it couldn't creep up on you .There's no mistaking that turret!!
Your welcome Lee, hope you enjoy the build .
Hi plastic fans.
Much has been achieved today, much of it done while chatting to Is it me aka Mike .
Will need a bit of filler on the top deck as normal with this kit.
Pretty clean mouldings first produced in 2005 so the moulds seem to be holding up well .Some very slight seam lines but nothing to worry about. Couple of holes were a bit under size , and I can see two that haven't been put through in the front plate .Other than these few minor things a great kit .
Soon it will be my nemesis the tracks !

Hull and associated sticky out bits done and looking good
Good luck with those tracks - I'm sure you'll cope admirably.

Isn’t the first instruction to open out those holes in the front plate John? Mine were, and I forgot to do it LOL…..otherwise it looks very similar to mine….Hi plastic fans.
