Dave J Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Well I haven't really built any Armour, so I would jump into the deep end head first and make it a Diorama also, which is another first! So my plan is to have a KV-1 knocked out / abandoned on the side of the road, with German Soldiers walking pass it, in slushy/muddy snow. I will be using this as the base kit - Also have the Lion Roar set and a set of Fruils - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 9, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2014 I built this kit some years ago. Nice kit. Also used the friul tracks i believe. The Lion Roar sets are amongst the best. Up there with Voyager. When cleaning up the attic today I stumbled on a lot of unbuilt armour kits. Might try my hand on one again when seeing you start this. You'll have to show some progress to really pull me in. Anyhoo.... following this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Trumpy KV-1 builds nice and builds easy. Nice choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James H Posted March 9, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2014 Looks a great build. Prefer Soviet stuff to German, for some odd reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks Matt.. It looks to be the same tooling for the Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Well it appears that the Ebay seller of the Lion Roar set has shafted me, by taking my money and not sending the product, looks he has a track record of it too... Oh well, claim filed with Paypal and now that I can't find that set instock anywhere, I have managed to find a couple of other options that I have on the way... I have ordered the Eduard PE set for, was on special for $10! ET Models Set for a crazy NZ$8!!! I mainly got it for the tool boxes, but seems it has some stuff that the Eduard set doens't. RB Productions Barrel And some Aber Russian Shackles... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulster Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Sorry to hear of your misfortune. You have enough there for a KV-1. Pretty simple vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-Oh-Four Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I really like the looks of this tank. Whilst no one can claim it's actually beautiful, I find it in balance. Quick build progress by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
