Default RE: KV85 Conversion

After seeing the Crusader build I think this thread is bush league but I will press on none-the-less!

This conversion requires a bit of surgery to correctly position the turret forward the 13mm it works out to be in 1/16 scale. As it was originally intended for HL, you must also remove the stepped ring from the Tamiya deck. Razor saw time.

After the ring-ectomy, I filled in the drivers hatch and added a fillet to the engine deck to square off the area where the turret was.

Last step, cut of the Tamiya traverse posts.
