A Scale Model.... Restoration??? | Old KV-220-2 Rebuild | 1/72 PST

- Rebuilding an old model can feel very rewarding. The results can be almost as good as building a new kit, just with some extra sentimental value. Restoring your old kits can also be a great way to improve your construction skills. It's just important to evaluate the model and decide if it's worth saving, or if it's easier and more time efficient to just buy a new kit and start over.
I've got this model several years ago from a friend who builds airplanes and this was his first and last attempt at building a 1/72 scale tank. The build was overall pretty decent except the tracks and running gear where it's clear he had some issues. However these can be, as is often the case, saved with layers of mud, but that's a story for another time.

Fun fact: I narrated this video 2 days after a very invasive visit to my dentist (he and his tools were invasive, not me). So my mouth looked like a No Man's Land and it hurt just as much. I had serious problems trying to pronounce like half of all the English words... and just my luck, I had to narrate my longest video yet. The uncut narration with all the outtakes was over 1 hour long lol.
Also, this comment section is absolutely insane xD
You guys are the best.
LUV YA
LoL, I hope you get better soon. From modeling videos you're like Bob Ross, you always paint a happy tank... I was wondering if one day you will make a video about the techniques and tricks you know, like that of the rivets. I appreciate your videos a lot, I always learn something new, thanks!
Lol, hope the dentist had fun. Love your content Night Shift. Keep up the awesome work and Stronk Tenk on!
STRONK
TENK
Stronk job ez olwayz
Stronk tenk - Nice Martin - all that blade work and no blood or bandaids - pro level.
I'd listen to an hour long video about Stronk Tenk. I learn something new every video and your humor makes potentially boring parts not boring.
I actually like how much longer this episode was, I wouldnt mind if any others run on a bit longer as well, and I would Love more of these restoration type episodes.
Stronk Tenk!
Stronk tenk, nothing is beter when you have a fever and you see: *night shift has uploaded:*
That's withdrawal.
Night shift great modeler
I just had a fever
You, my friend, are an alchemist, but instead of turning common metal to gold, you did it with a potato... Holy crap bro........ 🥔
Yoooo bro! It's so good to hear from you again!
Who doesn't love such STRONK TENK
And I'm very happy and proud of that spare track usage. I was laughing so hard when you did that. Because it's what they would do IRL.
it's like the most mind-blowing thing ever
@@NightShiftScaleModels I know! Its almost like that was how it was DESIGNED.
Stronk Tenk is stronk...
...have to admit, when you mentioned Stalinium I proper belly laughed 🤣
I love the KV series of tanks. Especially the ultimate Derp-God, the KV 2
KV tanks are the best
Well, the man who built it has maded a good job, looks like every tank placed on a monument today
"Nun of them are good" I chuckled.
4:06 this man is dilusional, get him to the infirmary!
Edit: stronk tenk
3.6 roentgen those references not great certainly not horrifying
STRONK TENK!
New fan here, dug out a bunch of model jets of sentimental value and am a wargamer and casual tank modeler myself, been hunting for various model restoration videos. Started watching this for fun but ended up learning a LOT! Thanks!
you said that this was going to be a loooong video, but i love it as background noise. i even thought it was going to be over half an hour to an hour. keep up the great videos
well, it was almost over half an hour!
Why do I like watching your videos so much? I don't model myself because I get too easily frustrated with all the details, but your videos man... I don't know, I keep coming back...
Interested to see the winter camo. Will you be doing the different styles?
Stonk Tenk!!
Let's just say it will be quite interesting!
@@NightShiftScaleModels Will you ever try your hands at some german tanks?
This is perfect as I'm currently building a 1:56 version for my Bolt Action Army. Awsome video as always. Looking forward to the painting of the stronk tenk
Outstanding. Some of the most fun I've had is when pulling and old sub-par model I built long ago and 'fixing' it up with new skill set.
I've looked all over for a cheap and easy rivet punching method. This one is the best I've seen. Thank you!
Wow, wow, wow... this is so inspiring.. I hope I can implement some of the things I see here on my own channel. Great work!
Stronk Tenk btw.
Really appreciate your Library, as I am a grandfather trying to foster model building with my grandson's, they like Starwars models as well as different military craft and vehicles! Thank you!
Stronk tenk is glorious! And that rivet technique is really good - and just what I need - thanks. Never knew there was such a thing as black superglue either! Great video, cheers.
More small Soviet armour AND some restoration? Hell yeah. That tinfoil rivet technique is great. Strong Tenk!
порадовало, как ты брезент мял. "давай уже вставай на место и мнись как надо"))
Stronk tenk! I really like the hacks like punching rivets using stuff I Already Have! My favorite modeling channel.
I appreciate what I imagine is a reference to the HBO Chernobyl series at 4:02
"3.6, not great, not terrible."
40k guy here, lovely tutorials man, adapting some of it. keep up the good work
Stronk Tenk indeed! And the use of spare tracks is poetry 🤣
When you were using the spare tracks to repair the tracks like they did in real life it blew my mind and I couldn't stop screaming: "Stronk Tenk! Stronk Tenk, indeed!"
Fantastické. Z takýchto videí som nadšený: všetko vyzerá tak úžasne a zdanlivo(?) jednoducho urobiteľné....Fantastické, ďakujem a dúfam, že takýchto "ako čo urobiť a nahradiť" videí bude viac a častejšie. Krása, ďakujem, prajem všetko dobré.
As always, great video. I enjoy your humor and always learn something from watching your videos. Thanks for making them available to everyone!
Další nádherný projekt a všechny úpravy mu hodně prospěly. Skvělá práce! Díky moc!
I have an unfinished M4A1 Sherman that's been sitting untouched for the last 5 years. You have inspired me to finish it this weekend...just noticed all my putty has dried out lol.
I love watching you do it and how brilliantly perfect you bring them back to life. These metal protections on the rear of the tank are a really great idea. I love your films, Uncle Night Shift.
Greetings
I love your videos...So informative, so challenging and inspiring. I am so into the way you use brush and paint. I don't have an airbrush and are in the ambition trying to find ways around airbrush to make similar effects with the brush or other technics. This is where your videos are so inspiring. You open doors to another way of thinking and open a door open to a wide amount of options and alternatives. Thank you! Love all your work by the way!!!
Stronk tenk!
Love your videos! Thank you so much for your time!
STRONK TENK!!! Great little build, Martin, your work never ceases to amaze me!
Já jsem také toto KV od PST předělal a přidal panceřování,ale použil sem věž z Trumpeteru "simplifed turret", musel sem ji upravit do "vzoru 1941",protože ta co je v modelu je rok 1942. Tato věž byla vyráběna těsně před zavřením Leningradského závodu konec července a začátek srpna 1941,kde byly také 2 podvozky Objektu 220 opatřeny věží z KV-1. Existuje pouze jedna fotka z tohoto závodu s tou tvojí standartní věží a F-32 laufem bez těch "fičurin" co jsme oba na model přidali. Věž "simplifed" měla 90mm boky a čelo 120, ale jelikož nebyl válcovaný plech k mání, tak na původní 90mm byly navařeny 20-25mm plechy,což pak činilo 110-115mm na čele. To jsou takové ty " U" tvar plechy namísto těch obdelníkových kvadříků. A také přidal plát na čele spodku vany. Ta vařená zjednodušená věž byla nově dělána, protože "Ekrany" na standartní věži neměly takovou učinnost a trhali se, tím že byly přišroubované.
Nice! I have a KV-1 and a KV_2 from the same company waiting to be built. Thanks for sharing!
Once I built a Matchbox Stug IV (1/72) and made 34 modifications!
Have fun, Ricardo
Excellent work and your narration is both informative and humorous, I am hooked!
These videos are fantastic! Informative and very entertaining. Thank you. Stronk Tenk!
Love your work as Always.
I have a Mountain of 1/35 stuff that I built before, I started watching Clips like yours ( and others.)
I open the Box every now and again. Groan in Despair and Walk away.
Your Video has made me Think about that Box and Dive in..!
You have supplied great Ideas and Advice. 'Yes u Did it..! I'm inspired to go there. Thank u..!'
Cheers kim from Downunder.
Ps. Strong Tank..!.😎
Stronk tenk. Really enjoy the longer form videos. Looking forward to next part! Keep up the great work
Stronk Tenk!
Looking forward to the next vid - sounds like it's going to be awesome.
I think it's a great idea to renovate old models rather than just building new ones; it can be a challenge to your / our modelling skills to take something that's been built and try and improve it with just spare parts and scratch building. Great stuff.
And the most ridiculous thing is that I used to be that type of guy who would rather throw a bad model in the trash and buy it again :D It's a lot of fun... I mean restoration is a lot of fun. But throwing your models in a bin is also fun. Buying new models is fun too. Dayum, everything's fun.
Really enjoyed the episode, and the run time was great... and the subject is great..
Stronk tenk
It is especially mesmerizing to see anyone to keep on adding details bits by bits onto models
Man, i love your videos. Keep up the good work and after six months it still deserves to told, stronk tenk
Awesome work, you're the best scale modeller on YT imo!
Stroqk T3nk! I love to periodically update a couple of old Italeri M4 Shermans to let them benefit from new developments in aftermarket items. And now Im reworking an old Italeri US Ambulance with new tires, handles etc., which, as you point out in the video just before Stoqk T3nk, it is very rewarding! Mine are 1/35, my eyes are 65 and need all the size they can look at. Give your dentist a slap on the back and say, "I build plastic molars! Molar Tanks, molar vehicles of all sorts."
Stronk Tenk! Keep up the great videos, I love your tips and the humour you put in your videos. Great!
Another great video bro as always.I am always amazed to see the level of creativity that you come up with.I can't wait till the next one.
YES! Just finished painting my 1:72 zero... now I’m getting my late night armour fix!
Stronk Trunk, great rehab nightshift...love the bloopers
STRONK TENK, great to see your thinking process while adding details and evaluating a model. Helps me think about what to do with mine. Thanks for posting even though you're mad busy with your seasonal slav bizniz :P
I actually did the same with a semi rare bandai model I found at a second hand shop. It is a 1/24 early production Tiger with the rounded cheecks turret made by Krup. It has winter camouflage and very heavy die cast(?) figures. It was missing some parts I tryed to build from scratch. And I weathered it some more along with the tracks. I could be made into a RC piece. It is fully detailed on the inside as well. Suspension works. Motor details really glad I picked that up.
Stronk Tank!
Great video, inspired me to drag out an old Spitfire model that went a bit wrong and was abandoned and set to fixing it.
I love the restore video!. It seems like you take more artistic liberty which is cool to you kind of free-style it. I got into the video so much it felt like only a couple min. There was so much going on in such a short space! Great work and stronk tenk!
Strong Tenk! Great job. Loved it.
I love your videos! Great videography and very informative, plus your sense of humor!
STRONK TENK. I love the Nun movie reference, I couldn't stop laughing. I am becoming more and more anxious for your video releases. Your approach to your tutorials are not only very informative, but amusing. I was focused the whole time, therefore the video was not long at all. My mind was blown btw.
Questions: When you told us that this was a good opportunity to go for a drink...did you at anytime have one? And what did you have?
Thank you Martin Kovac, I am big fan.
Thanks a lot!
Nah I don't drink :) 2 litres of water and a few cappuccinos is all I need to make it through the day.
I've been modeling for over 40 years. It's always blown my mind how modelers seem to HAVE to replicate exactly the tank/model they're building.
Look at pictures of the day, there was a lot more mods than we would like to believe. Also, there is nothing wrong in adding a detail,
no matter how exact or perfect, to bring some visual interest to the model. All of the mods you've done, will only be detected by an amateur war historian. No one else will know.
How ever, those added details will impress anyone looking at it. So, don't get your panties in a bunch about historical accuracy. Have fun. That's what it's all about!
Kudos. (stronk tenk)
But I'm just having fun here :)
@@NightShiftScaleModels And keep the videos coming :)
Strong Tenk. Keep 'em coming. I really enjoy your content and style.
Love it Martin......will do this with an old one of mine.
What a beauty is you achieving! Now, I'm looking for my own restorations in the stash...lol
STRONG TANK
I am really enjoying your videos -and learning as well!
Stronk tenk!!!! Awesome as always my friend!!!!!
STRONK TENK Brilliant video, everything you do is so logical and I really enjoyed the way you explained it. It's very satisfying to see you take such an average looking model to the next level.
Always makes me smile. Nice work, looking forward for more
Stronk tank!!!! Absolutely love you videos!!! I’m learning soo much and can’t wait to apply your methods to my own models!!
STRONK TENK!
'a great way to start a video: talking about something I'm not gonna do' =)
good to know you stick to your sense of humor even being busy with your job. great job on the restoration and great video - as always. thank you for your vision of turning whatifs into whynots =)
Stronk Tenk
I always learn something from your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Stronk Tenk! I loved the video. The rivet making is a great idea that I will definitely try.
Stronk Tenk! I really enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to the paint!
Always a pleasure watching your videos! Awesome work cannot wait to see the next one. Stronk Tenk!
stronk tank! my favourite model channel. tanks for your work night shift!
I've just finished a Tamiya KV-1 this week, in 1/35 scale of course, and your restoration is wonderful! Only missing is the back red headlight.
STRONK TENK!
Ah, you noticed :) That was me being lazy :)
Your videos are really high quality, keep it up!! I'm loving it.
Only In Mother Russia: Stronk Tenk
Why not use improvised armor plates over the gear to cover holes and such?
At first I thought I'd scratchbuild the entire extra armor kit as used on KV-1E (Ehkranami). But I didn't have enough patience for that.
Improvised armor, hmm... I wanted to keep it somewhat reasonable. Russians didn't do much field modifications up until Berlin offensive.
A year later my friend, this is a great video can't wait to watch the whole series. Stronk Tenk!!!
THANKS!! Now all my reject models destined to go in my scrapyard diorama are going to have to be looked at again and salvaged.
I know when I see a Night shift video notification, I'm going to be entertained. And boy, was I ever entertained with this one. The toolbox handle removal had me in stitches. Keep your humour in your videos, it's perfect.
Stronk tenk!
As always stunning work. STRONK TENK. Very happy you have done a "Saved from the Grave" I have been doing a few of them as well. I thought you would have used fly screen mesh for the air intakes, but its your build and still looks great. Look forward to next installment.
Fly screen is unfortunately too massive even for 1/35 scale :(
Nice birthday present, thanks Martin!
Strong Tenk!
Stronk tenk! Love your work, a real artist!
ahhhhh, so nice to see some content of u again, .... thanks man !
STRONK TENK! Very good video. I've never made anything like that but I've been thinking about restoring a few of my first models for a while. It's going to be interesting
What a modeling party!, any top video 👍👍👍
Another great video! Looking forward to the next video!
I cant see how your complaining😂, this video is awesome. The restoration is extremely helpful and filled with really useful techniques. I also love the longer videos as we get more nightshift! Also 'STRONK TENK'
Stronk Tenk! Love your work, thank you!
Impressive result! Incredible what can be savec on such a model that one could really consider ruined!
Your rivet tip is awesome! I'm definitely going to have to use that.
STRONK TENK, Loveing the longer vidz, your the best, can not wait to watch the paint job in the next vid.
Wow, the tarp is fantastic!
Stronk Tenk!
Good video dude! Been thinking about re doing one of my old kits for a while, might be the push I needed!
Stronk Tenk!
i continue to be in awe of your skill
This is fucking fantastic. I adore restoration videos, and yours is my favorite of them all. Perhaps this won't be the only restoration video from you? That'd be ten outta ten.
Gotta find some more old kits to restore :)
Stronk Tank! :) There's a fella who buys Games Workshop models on ebay, and "fixes" them so they're better looking than what the original owner did. It is an interesting hobby challenge to take on! Your little flourishes, and awesome techniques have done this little guy well sir!
Stronk Tenk. Nice save. Yeah I've had a couple rescues through the years. They can be fun.
Thats one Stronk Tenk! Love your videos man
Stronk Tenk, very enjoyable! just about to start a refurb on a tamiya T34, thanks for the ideas :)
