Well it's the 1st of August so I've just made a start on this one. The road wheels and idlers done. Also fitted the front end.

Well I've just about got this all built up, just the track and tools to do. But I'll do them when it's all painted up.

Hey, you got that green spot on, imo - is it a mix or ready made? Looking brilliant!

Thanks. To be honest the kit just falls together, all the parts fit nicely and there's not that many of them. It will slow down a little now using oils for the weathering and such.

 

[papa 695]

Got the decals on.

Not sure if I have this green in my Vallejo but from the pics Ian I'm definatly going to order some.
I think I used Xf61 NATO for my test bed Su122 so I have defo seen the light on this green

 

[papa 695]

I've got the main body ready for the hairspray and white wash, I've also started the tracks ready to put on.

Now that is looking very sweet might I say. The colour looks really good too with nice shading, wear and tear.those tracks look really nice too very authentic looking.
