Default Missing KV-1 mud/snow scraper part

While replacing my tracks, I noticed I was missing the mud/snow scraper on one side of the tank. I don't know if the tank was missing it from the outset or if it is now out in my yard lost forever somewhere.

I'll probably model it up and 3D print a replacement.

Before you model it, there is one included in those 1/10th scale KV-1 STLs you have. It's a multipart unit, but it is pretty detailed. It even comes with a gluing template to print to make assembly easier.

Ah thank you, my KV-1 lost one sometime between when I bought it and when I did its first full service. I'd made a lazy 3D printed mock up of one but it looks pretty weird compared to the original/your recreation.

Notice I lost another scraper today. Factory part. I think sticks or other debris gets in there and the drive sprocket just grabs it and rips the hub scraper right off.

Just 3D printed a new one.
