Description: 1943 the 22-nd German tank division modernized a tank «KV-1» (the model of 1942) by the way ofmstalation of 75-mm KwK 40 gun and command turret. For primer i use back citadal color, after that i use FX-60 Tamiya acrylics. I applied some filters and washes with W&N oils, drybrush whit tamiya acrylics, for scraches and chiping are painted with mix of black and leather vellejo acryls, and for the end mig, star dust pigments and pastels.

Judge 1: Simply fantastic! Seems to have a unique style all its own. Painting and weathering is first-cut (would have reduced the black weatehring on the muzzle, and spread the oil around the engine deck a but more). I must admit that there are problems with the tracks but then again I have build the PST kist many tiems and the tracks are simply awful! The modeller has done a superb job with poor tracks. Photos are excellent!
Judge 2: Nothing to say! Very good model. Construction is well done and very clean. Coloration technique is advance and general look is very beautiful. It seem a veru iron vehicle... Weathering is well done ans I like in particular the rear engine deck area. Paolo Capitanio
Judge 3: An excellent model. The build is very good and the finish is excellent. The subtle changes of tone are very well done and adds variety and interest to the single colour finish. The paint chips are also very well done - in scale and not overdone.
