Soviet's Giant - KV-2

The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tankswere a series of Soviet heavy tanks, named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. The KV series were known for their extremely heavy armour protection during the early war, especially during the first year of the invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II.

This model of the KV-2 is the Tamiya 1/48th Scale KV-2. It was built straight from the box and painted with Gunzo Sangyo's Russian Green lightened with Sail Colour. The horizontal surfaces were further lightened to create the colour modulation effects.

The models was then washed with diluted Raw Umber oil paints and pin washed with diluted Raw Umber mixed with Black. The paint chips was achieved with a mixture of Raw Umber oil with Black pigments. Finally, the dust effects was achieved by spraying diluted Tamiya Acrylic Buff.

Hope you like this model.
