discussion ICM WOT Katyusha progress

[RonGlass]

Posting this wasnt planned properly, the kit is pretty far along, my spurts of modeling mojo can be a bit sporadic. Nevertheless, I figured some might like to see this before its painted. Hope to do a proper build thread here , next build.
Save for the Panzer Art wheels, it's all OOB and it has been a lot of pleasure to build.
I am leaning towards forgoing the rockets (though they are quite nice IMO), maybe portray it in a small vignette as spent and abandoned....
PS I realize the outriggers are in the travel position, will have to deal with that at some point

Ron,
That is a cracking result mate, the frame work looks nice and fiddly.

Ron,
that's looking very good! - any assembly problems with the Katyusha launch rails? ICM lorry models are very good, do the rails follow the same quality?

Did a version of this some time back using a truck mounted system onto a tracked vehicle

Thank You Paul, assembly was fine, just the two sides and 3 connection rods . Cleaning the fine mold lines took some patience, I should have done better I think. Between my having Sasquatch hands, and the desire to push through, could have tried more finesse.

Dave, I've no problem with the assembly. Just that cleanup was a bit tedious what with the parts being a bit delicate. Here's a couple of close-ups for you.
PS the strut in the center did snap, I'll rework that with a wire or piece of styrene rod
