My Hobby Boss 1:48 KV-1 with Simplified Turret...completed!


Recommended Posts

Posted

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.

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.

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.

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!
