Tamiya 1/16 KV1

Recommended Posts

How are you planning on masking off the camo? It looks hard-edged to me and not feathered on the edges?

Don't know if it any help, but when I did the hard edged 3-tone "Ambush" camo for my King Tiger, I used Silly Putty which was a revelation to me.

Not decided yet, I best think about that!

I could use tamiya masking tape... Will debate silly putty! Thanks!

KV camo done by my friend Paul due to my airbrush being caput :D

Decals on thanks to Paul - my first set went almost see through which is a shame as they were the big yellow '25'.

Collected my mig washes from Paul whilst I was there.

Pin wash tonight then filter/wash after that.

Spent this evening doing detail painting and pin wash using various paints and pigments. Pin wash done using Mig track wash.

Exhausts rusted and oil/grime stain added.

I believe I have saved the KV from the bin :D

Applied a thin black wash followed by a thin brown/sand mixed wash.

What do we think?

Calling the KV finished for now. Really enjoyed building, painting and weathering (albeit twice to cover up clear coat faff) and would like to thank Paul for his cracking job on the camo.

Enjoy the last few pics :D
