Kv-5

i found a guide to making headlight lenses with kristal klear. i'm going to do this. i really like the ones i made for tests. 

this kit was an experiment with oil dot filters. I wanted some subtle variation in the paint colors. I love the outcome, but I want to be prepared for a 2 week drying time next time. 

believe it or not this is taken a week after the above photo. not much difference. 

i said before and 'll say i again. I love family lineage shots. these two are impressive prototypes. 

 

the decals that were kit supplied got lost. the kv-220 donated guards markings for this tank, which went on and were sealed in with tamiya flat coat. if you do this, you can blend them in to the streaking later. I'll do that later.
