discussion 1/35 Russian Artillery Tractor and 122mm Gun

[Guest]

Ok so this originally was to be part of the sig build last year but was back to work and never got to finish it. I was originally going to either refurbish a few old kits Im not happy with or even begin something new to get back into it this winter but after about a week or so walking by the desk and not stopping to sit, I decided to start this winter off where I left off last winter. Here is what I have so far. I had the gun built last year but never really got going on the tractor but for a few steps into the instructions.

The tractor is the first Vulcan kit I have ever built and so far its beautiful. The gun was a old Zvesda kit and definitely had its challenges , mostly pieces not fitting correctly. But that's modeling

I believe your right Patrick , Miniart does make one. Just a base coat of color on here so far , wanted to get some color around the areas where the windows go so as not to get paint on them afterwards. If possible I will wait to put them on close to last. Thanks for the kind words................Chris

As said above , just a quick basecoat of color. Have lots to do still. I like Grumpa hand paint everything with acrylics , so lots of layers and shades before shes close to done.
