KV-1 model 1942 Heavy Cast Turret

Album image #1
Pretty much a shake-and-bake kit. Just a lot of cleanup on the tracks.

Added a slight casting texture and used streched sprue as mould seam.

Chipping was done with the hairspray method.

After washing down the white paint, before weathering.

The washsable white is surprisingly easy to use.

One of the few corrections suggested was removing one of the brackets on the spare tracks. 
 

Album image #11
Still a bit of work left to do. Some smaller parts still missing, just as mud and wet effects.

Thanks guys. It's a simple and fun kit.
@Ingo: Not much actually. Most of the look is chipping and the whitewash, Pic 6 shows how it looked before the weathering. After that brown wash over all, black wash on the intake screens and track wash on the running gear. Some oil paints and pigments on the exhaust.
I'll probably add some more rust and dirt.
