I pencilled the markings outline first hand, which gave me chance to correct as I went along. Then went at it with a tiny brush and smallest dab of paint.
Still got wobbly lines though but think adds to the authentic look of painted in the field. (well that's my excuse

Glad you like the KV, I covered it in Humbrol Matt Light Olive (#86 if I remember correctly). Not certain if a perfect match for the olive T34. Next time i'm in the garage I put the two next to each other and compare.

Hi Ian,
KV looks fab mate,
Just in the process of painting my lads T34, and trying to get the right paint shade is proving a bit of a challenge to say the least!
Excellent work mate

Here's some pics of the painted KV1
Still to decide what to do with the electronics, at moment has RX18 and Mako board for IR battling, but there is a fair few SLU equipped tanks at our meets and they do sound good.

Heres a picture showing the HL barral and tank modellbau version next to it at correct point of jointing.
Heres the new barrel
And heres the barrel installed in the mantlet with the required 75mm extended.
Putting back together
And all back together and tested.
Seems to be sticking every now and again so will have to have to keep an eye on it.
Next job is to paint the tank.
Ian.

Currently waiting on Tank Modellbau to send instruction (in German) to Welsh Dragon Models to forward to me for translating and following.
Failing that the new one fits quite snug in the HL one so might cut the HL one down and push the two together with some super glue.
Will keep you all posted over next few days as I need tank ready for our next battle day this weekend. Also get chance to try the Mako board against a load of Tamiya and SLU kitted tanks, may even be an ElMod.

Just look at that baby
But hang on it's suppose to fit the HL recoil unit so why?
No instructions either so my best guess is I need to cut doen the HL tube and push the two together. Anyone else installed one of these?
Also got some plastic tracks at same time which look like their stop the tracks riding up on the drive sprocket.
Any way next job is to mod the recoil so worked right.
Ian.
