That thing is huge indeed! Nice camo Andy

 

[Andy T]

Thank you both.
There's a lot more work to be done but I'm happy with it as a starting point.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Great work Andy. It does look a beast.

 

[Stefee]

That looks menacing and your erect rocket does you proud!

 

[Jim R]

That is very impressive Andy. Quite an eyecatcher.

 

[Si Benson]

What a beast!! Camo has come out very nicely….Well done Andy

 

[Andy T]

Thanks all

I've had the detail airbrush out today and have cleaned up the fuzzy edges of the camo as best I can. It doesn't look a lot different on photos though so I won't bore you all.

I've also sealed everything in with a light gloss varnish and I'll move on to washes etc once that's fully dry.

I've fitted the wheels now and given the model a matt coat. I won't do much weathering as I'm sure these would be kept in tip top condition, but a few finishing touches and it'll be done

 

[Steven000]

That's looking really great Andy, well done

 

[scottie3158]

Very nicely done mate.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Why am I not surprised that this looks awesome Andy. Cracking finish mate.

 

[Jim R]

That's an impressive looking model Andy.

... do the west know what the missle is like ? what resides in that big tube ?...

According to my research it contains a missle of the type "play washable".

 

[Andy T]

Thanks again guys. Much appreciated

 

[Andy T]

It's an ss-25 ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) with a 1 tonne warhead, if my research is any good

Normally the kit doesn't show the missile itself, just the launch tube, but since this is a missile & rocket GB I figured I ought to at least attempt to represent it
