I currently have 3 KV2s in various stages of completion along with the Meng toy version yet to be started.

Munition schlepper

This is almost there except for weathering. The rocket is yet to be painted due to the recent cold wet weather. Ive added the cross braces.

This tank will go on a small plinth with some AK Mud for the base. This is out in the lounge to get it dry

Next up is the Stug which is mostly waiting for the steps to be created using a tool coming from Japan. It needs a little sanding on the turret and will get a whitewash scheme.

Last up is the 3 storey turret which also needs steps but is coming together slowly. The base is slowly getting there also.

Off to Melbourne this weekend for the national show. Im aiming to fit in 2 games of AFL and 1 of VFL also. Hopefully I will arrive back inspired and ready to finish a few things.

I was not happy with the rungs on the Stug and potentially the 3 storey turret KV2 so I have ordered a wire bending jig from HLJ which will hopefully give me even looking rungs.

I’ll be doing some last pieces of bracing and weathering on the weapons carrier KV2 as a priority when i get home. I also have some tow ropes to complete so that will occupy next weekend complete with blue air based on previous occasions. Last on this update is my new jacket bought in rural Victoria last summer. I found it hot then unsurprisingly but its still quite warm in my unlined garage on a cold Sydney winter day!
