Having looked through the stash I have made a decision Lee .
One of my many favourite Russian beasts, the one and only KV 2 .
This will be set in the winter , with snow , ice and a half submerged KV 2 .
Well that’s one way of getting out of track building John ;) Bet it’s good though!

I'm sure I saw Plasmo do a partially submerged KV2 a while ago.....

Yes he did a very nice one Andrew. There are photos of a KV 2 in a bog, which I have done before, though that was in the spring or summer .This time however I thought I'd do the winter version . I don't know if the real one had happened in the winter, it certainly didn't have any trace of any winter wash .
A search if the net and books will have to take place I think , I'd like to do true life one if possible. .

Any way still keeping the build close to my chest but to show willing got hold of these two usually go with mig /ammo yellow top stuff but thought I'd give these a run out(not that I havent used mr hobby aqueous before)so not long now then.

One is 4BO the other 4BO1947? The later looking a nicer shade but as I say 4BO bit of a enigma much like the old panzer gray. Dave

You where trying to post in a DEAD THREAD. Once a GB is approved and given a place of its own, the thread that was for the suggestion of a GB Gets closed and moved out of the way.
To avoid any further confusion the "parking slot" has been removed from view.

Considering the variations in manufacturing in a middle of a war, near enough would have done. Of course you could always excite Bob by painting it Grey David:smiling3:

Yeh green is green didn't realise these were available in the aqueous range so just thought I'd give em a squirt instead of all the other jars and bottles I've got with 4BO written on them. As I said John 4BO and panzer grey a bit of a enigma ,trouble is Bob likes his grey I prefer ìt more on the faded levi shade of blue ,not a stug but have got a marder 111? I think to build at some point that definitely comes in grey. Dave

Well here I go again after studying these instructions I think I can build this with no problems at first glance I was a little intimidated but this will be my build. Sorry guys for changing my mind so much.

Does give them a bit of heft Dave, but don’t quite get it myself either. Great choice though, probably my favourite RussIan tank.
