Heavy Soviet Armor - Tamiya's 1/35 KV-1 Full Build! With Sunward Hobbies!

[@scaleffect]

You continue to prove why you're one of the greatest to ever build a model with each video. Incredible

[@TheModelGuy]

@@scaleffect thanks dude!

[@countmacula530]

You're back! Awesome. Great to see your approach to armour and hear the historical context.

[@TheModelGuy]

@@countmacula530 it’s definitely fun to switch things up. It’s much easier for me to get content out during the summer months. No reserves and no hockey.

[@OlliLow]

Respect! Very good work. From Germany.

[@TheModelGuy]

@@OlliLow thank you! Keep an eye out for the German armour coming up

[@goforitpainting]

Cool weathering effects.

[@TheModelGuy]

@@goforitpainting thank you!

[@kiwiruna9077]

Nice.But while you were doing the welds and textured armour I had to double check I was watching an Uncle Night Shift video. 😀

[@TheModelGuy]

@@kiwiruna9077 I’m more like the dutch uncle lol

I just went to Sunward while visiting Toronto. Great hobby shop. I picked up that Brian Lane Kotare Spitfire deal - it's closer to $70 USD after conversion. Couldn't pass it up.

[@TheModelGuy]

Yeah they have a great selection and luckily I don’t live too close or I’d be getting a job there lol

[@jamesmcansh6393]

Great build ! I have been to Sunwards once I live four hours north of Toronto in Sudbury Its a great store !! ✌🏻🇨🇦✌🏻

[@TheModelGuy]

@@jamesmcansh6393 unfortunately for me the last time I was in TO was to go on course at CFB Borden…and then covid shut everything down!

Magnifique Thanks you from France

[@TheModelGuy]

@@patricktim140 thank you Patrick! It’s awesome to see where the viewers are from in the world.

Great Build , You made a little piece of art and i like it a lot. Thanks and Greetings from The Hague Netherlands.

[@TheModelGuy]

@@afdb6924 wow the Netherlands! I’m glad you liked it :)

[@evann2938]

Good work! I've been shopping at Sunward for years, and highly recommend them. The only part of your build I'm not sure about are the exhausts. They look "off" to me for some reason. Really enjoy your videos.

[@TheModelGuy]

Thanks bud. For the exhaust I couldn’t find a great reference and ended up following a different vehicle. On hind sight, those stacks are really thick and probably didn’t rust that badly

[@12am_scale_modeling]

Still waiting for the Sherman video to be re released lol. Looks great!

[@TheModelGuy]

@@12am_scale_modeling it will be a few months. I have some 3dp and old resin stuff for an M4A1

[@alainduquenois3812]

Excellent travail ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheModelGuy]

@@alainduquenois3812 merci beaucoup!

[@IanWilliams-f2l]

Great build, my friend, great. I'm not usually a Russian armour modeler but this kit looks like one to start my journey with. As for the track sag, well you just have to admire the Ruskies, especially later in the war, for slack tracks. Some photos show crazy sag. Thanks for the vid and I look forward to the next. Happy modeling fella....

[@TheModelGuy]

@@IanWilliams-f2l it’s a very straight forward kit. Even out of the box it looks great. I just like making it my own

[@filipzietek5146]

isn't that a rolled steel turret?

[@TheModelGuy]

@@filipzietek5146 if that’s rolled steel it was terrible quality…like bronze age quality lol

[@richardjordan5036]

Great build but forgot one thing... gaps in the armor in certain places..lol. Russians were know for that especially on there t-34's. I know it would be hard to do that but just had to have fun Joshing ya. Other then that it is a great build and do like it.

[@TheModelGuy]

@@richardjordan5036 thanks Richard. I don’t pretend to be an expert in any way. Thats why the tanks are more fun to build :)

[@richardjordan5036]

@@TheModelGuy yes they are fun to build and the sky is the limit when it comes to weathering. You also can do a lot of scratch building add ons. Also the dioramas that can be done on them too.
