Here is a brief history of the experimental KV designs

http://www.battlefield.ru/index.php?...mid=48&lang=en

Here are the detaile blueprints fot the KV-220

and here is the KV-5

http://www.the-blueprints.com/module...ew.php?nr=6565

If I have understood correctly both the KV-220/KV-3 and the KV-5 were supposed to be mass produced, the first in large quantities as standard heavy tank, the second in limited numbers to be used in support of fixed defenses. Given that its weight was supposed to be around the 150 tons that was pretty much the only practical use (that and looking good during parades, I guess).

Thanks for the information. I will put it to good use I hope.

Ok, the two KV hulls (KV 220 and KV 5) are done in the basic Soviet colours. The Turrets I am going to work on now.

~Update~

OK, here they are. The KV 220 and the KV 5 are done and I revamped my JS VII with a new winter scheme and a longer gun. They are in the attachment.

You guys have found some incredible stuff. I've been looking for years and haven't seen any of this. My hat is off to you.

~ UPDATE ~

Here are two T95 icons.

By T95 I don't mean the Soviet MBT. If you look further back in this thread you will see which T95 I mean, just in case there was a mix up.

So let me see now, Thats the T95, JS VII, KV 220 and KV 5 done. Just Object 270 and those two weird looking British vehicles to do. I think.

If anyone wants the unmanned lozenge shaped turret I did one of the as well. It is in a dessert camo scheme but I think it looks ok.

Yes, I want the lozenge turret!

Berlin Brigade Camoe'd Chieftains:

The BAOR tried out an experimental scheme for it's vehicles in what, the 70s-80s for the Berlin Brigade.

200% blown up of the BB Icon + the White+Black Chieftain I had to make for this to work. The Desert and Green Chieftains are (C) SPCAMO.

Hey, I recognize those Chieftans.

How about an opinion pole? You guys still think those fit into the standard or could use a face lift?

I have actually thought of doing the BB. But never got around to it. LOL...looks good. Only comment I would make is, it should be based on the blue color not white!
