DennisTennant Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Here's my finished KV-1 with a lot of extras: photo etch fender supports, a metal gun barrel, brass tubing machine guns, copper wire tow cables, headlight lens plus added wiring to headlight and horn. The kit was finished with acrylics. The whitewash effect was achieved by using the hairspray technique and applying it twice to add a bit more depth than with a single coat.

ghodges Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 One of the most authentic looking winter camos I've seen! Love it! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisTennant Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thanks for the comments about the whitewash, guys. I credit Mike Rinaldi's Panzer Art1 book for many tricks and tips in achieving this result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGronovius Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Nice job, I've got three of the HB KV kits, but yet to get motivated to start one. This might be the motivation I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Deliduka Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 That is a spectacular job on that tank. I've seen many techniques used for winter whitewash, but this seems to be on of the most authentic looking results. I don't do winter whitewash myself, but in sure do appreciate the excellence of a whitewash done well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
