Thanks first t o all thoes that have commented on the under construction bit ,a few quick thoughts on this one not quite as easy to assemble as previous snap fits but one of their earlier efforts i think, said I'd do the winter camo and stuck to my word ive learnt so much doing this next time I'm on top of it before I even start other than that not much to say apart from these kits are outstanding ive added nothing its straight out of the box shop about mostly under a tenner dont be sucked in with the snap fit kiddie bit there far from it. In my eyes a badly produced kit aimed at younger inexperienced modelers ar thoes produced with molded on tow cables tools etc Zvezda are so on top the tow cables even come molded pre shaped to fit . Many thanks to thoes who have followed and encouraged along the way,

Hi Dave
That is a great model. Well done. Just shows that great results can be had without spending a fortune on the latest kit.

Great work. Turned out very nicely indeed!! Will be a real inspiration for Junior's Soviet vehicle GB submission.

Very well done.

Thanks Andrew people ask what inspires me I I dont know but if someone's work makes me go wow then I suppose I've been inspired to bash on with what I try to do in my own way looking forward to the GB as havent done one since the sadly missed Simon T GB. Dave

I know what you mean Dave. I get my ideas from all kinds of places....some are even original ones that I've not borrowed or outright stolen!! ;) :smiling5:

In Junior's case we had talked about doing a whitewash but never having done one, I wasn't sure how to approach it and up pops your build as a great example of what can be done - again, very well done.

ATB.
