Title: "Ne zdes', ne segodnya ... (Not here, not today...)" Summer 1941 (KV-2, 1:35)
Post by: Borsos on March 29, 2021, 11:00:36 PM

It's been a while since I posted some pictures here. But I am not completely off the hobby...
The KV-2 was a Soviet infantry support tank. Its intented job was to destroy fortified field works and bunkers. In spite of having a bad cross-country capability, being under-engined and prone to mechanical breakdown, its thick armor made it almost invulnerable for German AFVs. Therefore the KV-2 frequently was used as a mobile bunker that blocked important roads where it could hold its ground quite well. And that's where we are here, a road somewhere in the Western Soviet Union in Summer 1941...

It's the Trumpeter kit with heavy Photo-etched additions including the fenders and the tool boxes. Figures are a mixture of Evolution, Scale75 and other manufacturers. No poses needed to be altered this time. The air recognition flag is actual linen which I'd better replaced with thin lead foil.
Best regards,
Andreas

That is a very moving and well-executed vignette, Andreas.  The vehicle and figures are very realistically done.  Thank you for sharing this! 

Best regards,

How nice to see some of your new work, Andreas. Your little vignette looks wonderfully detailed and painted. Outstanding figure painting, and I love the weathered look to everything. Amazingly realistic.Congrats on a beautifully completed project and thanks for posting this.

Brilliant work Borsos! Well executed and poignant. I recall reading accounts of the heroic stands made by KV-2 crews in '41. Legendary.

I look forward to seeing more.
