Hi,
looks very nice. Can't wait to start KV-II...Are those tracks for Tamiya or Trump?
I noticed one small glitch that you may have already noticed:

Good thing with taking pics: you will see tour model "differently" :)

Br,

Hi Andy,
for me it looks that there is a small gap between plates. Of course, my eyes can deceive me:D

That was a quick one Andy!!!! :)

Super clean build buddy, I look forward to seeing the painted product as your style is unique.

[Andrew Hall]

Holy Klimenti Voroshilovs Batman, that was quick! A weekend you say?! I'd just about have finished opening the box in 48 hours at the rate I build ;)

I'm glad you fitted the Fruil tracks as that's what I'm going with on the KV-2.

Are you coming to Euro this year then?

;) cheers guy`s..yeah i thought i`d just do a quickie, to do some more painting, got a couple of new ideas i want to try out!!...What fantastic kits these are from Trumpeter!!..Yes i could not resist the friuls, plus it makes for a better paint and weather on the tracks etc!!..Andrew, yes this year i will be at Euro, :) maybe i will see you there, for a beer and a chat!..i will be in the Southcliffe on the Friday evening..

Thanks
Andy..

[Stuke Sowle]

Dammit Andy!! Why couldn't you have been in the Southcliffe last year?? :)

And don't be fooled by Andrew, while he may be slow at first glance, he plods along and before you know it - he's finished before you are. I've been a victim of this guise several times now. :)

Are you planning on beating the hell outta her Andy, or attempting some more subtle weathering?

[Theo Braat]

Excellent work there, Andy! And nice to hear that this kit doesn't need any aftermarket goodies - except the Friul tracks. Only thing that needs some attention that I can think of are the airvents, but maybe those can be replaced in a 'cheap' way?

Can't wait to see your paintjob. handpainted numbers, I guess? ;)

Theo

[Andrew Hall]

Great! See you there then. Shame Stuke can't come though he's not a pretty sight first thing in the morning :)
