Let's start painting step-by-step Zvezda KV-1 obr 1940 kit. In fact this whole process took me about 2 weeks, because lack of time and also I was not happy with model assembly. When cut off of sprues, I wanted to add magnet, so the turret can be easily removed, then glued the rest of the kit. I believe this is just my own personal preference, but I really hate this part with Zvezda models particularly. Besides some different measures in comparison to other manufacturers, I think main disadvantage of Zvezda kits in general is it's assembling and customizing for Flames of War game. Anyways, some might say: "What would you expect for 4 bucks?"...
Step 1: Unboxing
Step2: Assembling and basecoating with spray.
