You were busy last week. Had a nice catch up. Glad you have conquered your fear of tracks. They were a great success. Hopefully you will be able to start the painting soon. Great work my friend
In deed Rick, though seeing what I thought was Matron on the photos from the Shuttleworth Show I was worried.
Yes it does Jakko.
Although have this drawing many thanks for reminding me !
I seem to remember the Zvezda model I first built had a full gun breach and engine. Those propellent cases will be copied , can't do the breach unfortunately, although I may have a T34 breach that would at least give an impression of one. The good thing it will be hard to see into .
Its unfortunate that even the "Bible " on the KV-2 has no photos of the internals
Thanks Paul and for the tip along with Allen and Mike for using the tape.
Ha, thanks Steve, well you know when you've build 3 of them before It does help.
Still annoyed by the barrel assembly, might show a photos later of the drawing to see what other feel .

The build is looking good John, I love those tracks, they really look the business.

Hi John
You'll sleep better now you've mastered the tracks. No more track nightmares to wake you up shaking in a cold sweat
Glad you've overcome your nemesis and done a great job into the bargain.

Well Graeme its glued now, but I can see they had left out the don't glue here mark . Very tricky to get the assembly in the opening with out any glue. Certainly a 3 handed job.
Nor can I Chris, the fact that the tracks have to be painted off the model , and the hull will need doing before the tracks are fitted and then the track guards can go on.Yes pleased with the tracks, although I think the sag is a little short.The build is looking good John, I love those tracks, they really look the business.

Hi Si thank you, I'll listen to you in the future ! Hope all is well in Benson Towers .Damn good to see that you got those tracks done so well John….very nice indeed
Another day and some progress, following the reminder that I had that section drawing by Jakko kindly posting it, I set too and made those racks for the projectile cartridge.
Slightly longer than required but as only a section of it will be viewed when the door is half open so its ok.
Not having the gun breach I put in the T34 one I had, just shows how big this turret was
You could have a dance in there
This just shows how little will be seen, I've cut up some hollow plastic tube and wrapped a 1mm strip of pewter around it to represent a clip. Then will be painted after the metal primer dries. Also made up some PE storage bins, want 2 of them to be open.
Thanks for looking in,comments etc welcome.

Hi John
All looking very good. I think that when the view of an interior is so limited it doesn't really matter what's inside. It's just a case of 'something there'. What you've done will be more than enough.
