I found the way I had loose tow ropes wasn't too practical, basically got caught on stuff I drove over.
Before
So shortened them
Now
Also revisited the sounds and fitted a better volume control and made the custom speaker box more airtight to further enhance the sound quality.

The round container I believe is storage for cleaning rod/tool for the main gun. The Heng Long model comes with it as standard.

Coming along well
Like the fuel drum, adds character
What's the cylinder between the spare track links and storage bins
Cheers

I know it was the later KV1's which had the fuel drums attached but think it looks good so made myself a fuel drum out of plastic card.
Bit more paint and engine coolant vents added.
Also added a few spare track links.
Still got bottom half of hull to paint when it arrives and weathering to do.

Yeah going to file it flat so doesn't look like well a LED
Need to fix a few bits though LED flash has stopped working and one of the idler wheels about to fall off
Then back on with the detailing and weathering.

I think the cast effect texture has come out better now painted over.

First up fitting the turret hatch, slightly modified so can open it fully. But then found the detail inside the hatch foiled the IR socket which i superglued in, so had to sand it down a bit hence why it looks a bit messy
Time for the long waited for gun barrel. Glued together with a cut down telescopic aeriel. As you can see a lot longer than the standard HL one but hey that is too short anyway.
Installed. Might be a fraction too long, I need to check the books.
And a video with a amber LED flash.

Made some cooling vents out of metal mesh. Going to leave loose until I've painted the tank first.
Also added an engine grill mesh.
And that's just about all the bits changed now. Still waiting for metal barrrel, exhaust etc to come into stock before can crack on further.
