KV-II 1:48 finish - photo !!!

Nice track! But somehow the turret and cast still looks abit gloss, maybe due to strong lighting???

Nicely done .

Regards,  Rick

Nice build overall,but that mud looks awesome.

Great job overall, my only crit would be all of the glancing blows accross the side of the turrent. If there was that many on the side shouldnt the be more direct hits on the front near the edge? ( assuming most came from the one encounter) otherwise thats alot of glancing hits in one area over many encounters

Just my (and I'm no expert)

The glancing hits would be a small percentage (10% or less) of direct hits. The KV was a HUGE target that would be easy to hit directly, the German guns it faced were extremely accurate.

One photograph that proves this was of German Panzer III commander inspecting a knocked out KV with the smaller turret. Frustrated with not being able to penetrate the armor with a 50mm anti tank round he targeted the barrel and put a round through it disabling the KV's 75mm gun. Also shown are many direct hits on the turret and hull.

Your finish on the tank is excellent, the battle damage is well done, just excessive on the turret glancing hits. The weathering and tracks look perfect as mentioned above.

What a stunning build - and in 1/48 too! Lovely work!

I just can't imagine putting all that work into a model only for it to go straight onto Flea Bay. That must be harsh!

Excellent job.

Thank you all for your comments, photos doing to speed so are a little reflection on the tower.

Modeled on the tank that fired on the range germany, photo found on the internet, I did not want to be hit with high account, because they look better.

This is really nicely done with good weathering and nice painting. A beautiful model.

The only thing that strikes me as a bit "off" is the shading / tonal differences where the "hits" are on the turrets. It almost looks like "spots" of camouflage or something. I would try to lessen the difference there.

I have to agree with Karl on the black spots. My first thought was it was camoflage. Otherwise well done.

very nice,mud+tracks look real good.
