Dealing with plastic tracks

Oh, absolutely, that’s the same approach I had with the ISU, I kept hull and track assembly separated almost until the very end of the model.

@Nightgaunt is this the Zvezda kit?

Thought this might be of interest.

Perth Military Models - Review Soviet Heavy Tank KV-1 Zvezda Kit No. 3539 1:35th Scale

Looks like an interesting kit with three excellent markings to choose from:

  1. KV-1 "Ruthless "
  2. KV-1 “Suvorov"
  3. KV-1 “Fighter"

Mine appears to be a different edition, it has only a single word decal and unfortunately has zero vinyl parts, I’ll post a box picture tomorrow.

@Armor_Buff, here it is:

There’s just that decal you see on the box, and no vinyl tracks.

By the way, I hate flooding the forum with questions, where could I open a dedicated thread for the build? Is this section ok?

Definitely worthy of a build thread in the Allied section:) Of course discussing is key part of forum so I hope you always feel free to ask questions.

Thanks, will open a specific thread as soon as I meet the next roadblock.

This morning I made the 3 hatches.
Good Lord, how tiny can pieces get, and I even realized too late that I made all this just to make them openable which I didn’t need!
