Is the KV-1S finished? Not quite, but this is the week it stops being a project in the workshop and becomes an exhibit in the museum. First, the paint. The standard wartime finish for Soviet armour was 4BO protective green, a single specified colour on paper and anything but uniform in practice. Pigment supplies in 1942 and 1943 were inconsistent, factories and even individual batches varied, and paint was thinned with whatever was on hand. When we spoke with a Russian specialist in Soviet armour, the first thing he told us was that there was very little uniformity at all. Our KV-1S appears to have served until around August 1943, through a winter in whitewash and a spring and summer of sun, chips and field touch-ups. There is no one correct colour for a 1943 KV-1S, only a range, and the olive green we’ve chosen sits squarely within it. It’s the same olive we use on our German vehicles, which has long been considered a close match for mid-war Soviet protective green. Then the move. Even without its internals the KV weighs somewhere between 20 and 30 tonnes, so the boys use the Leopard recovery vehicle to bring it down the hill from the workshop, with the FV434 recovery vehicle anchoring it just to be safe, before nudging it into the Soviet section with the big forklift. And finally the track. We only have enough original track for one side, and spoiler alert: it’s in terrible condition, cracked and split everywhere. It’s also insanely rare, and once it’s on, it’s never coming off. With Beau heading off on leave, he and Jesse have a few days to get it on, including one link too many and a pin that hasn’t seen daylight in over 80 years. Still to come: the second side’s track, sourced from a supplier in Eastern Europe, and the engine deck, which has been stuck overseas for a long time. 📺 Finishing the mudguards: https://youtu.be/BxFRmxXlxvQ 📺 The full KV-1S restoration playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWYZuCQ-NHUPV-fCXpfCXVButa7SShUHu 🎟️ AusArmourfest 2027 tickets are LIVE!
