KV-1S

My oldest shelfqueen finished!

Hardest parts were by far the tracks set. It has 2 ejector pin marks per link! I also wanted them to be workable and finding a way to drill out the links for the trackpins was quite the journey. In the end I used my electrical hobby drill and drilled out the holes by hand.

The photo-edge is a nice set, but a some parts go unused. I could not find references of KV-1S pictured with shovels and/or wood saws, so I left them off.

The kit decals were horrendously bad. In the end I had to remove the large numbers and paint them in myself.

A lot of details were missing on this kit, that I was able to replicate mostly.
- The sound device was remade, as its wires
- Tow cable retention hook was remade, kit supplied had incorrect design. (weird as only one design was used)
- Machinegun barrels remade out of brass tubing
- Added missing bolt details on hull bottom
- Hollowed out a lot of parts
