Si B’s BM-8-24 Self-Propelled Rocket Launcher. Miniart 1/35

Nice choice Si. Being MiniArt I'll bet it will have a load of tiny, fragile bits. I like the box art. It would be hard to model a launch though.
This will be my entry for Lee’s Rocket/missile GB. It will be a few day before I start as I only just ordered it.
This wasn’t my first choice but I didn’t fancy another truck build and this was £23 from Amazon!
I’ve built the Miniart T60 before and thoroughly enjoyed it….
Hope I can do this version justice.

The kit arrived this afternoon via Amazon. Popped it open for sprue shots and now I remember why it’s not a good idea to unpack this lot before you’re ready to tackle it!
So here’s how a bundle of sprues still in one box shaped bag look
I have a small kit on the build at the mo so it’ll be weekend before I open up this puppy

good luck Si turning that load of bits into a model as good as the "Here's one I did earlier"
Very different Si!!
Good choice sI.
Nice one Si.
Better late then never….managed to unpack the contents 
Quite a few of the same sprue’s and noticed there are two upper decks (2nd pic)
The multiple sprue’s are for tracks, wheels and rockets…

Construction started with the hull bottom. Some lovely detail moulded on.
Added first are covers over the suspension, some pedals and transmission box.

Good to have you along mate 
Got a good amount of the interior pieced together. Forgot just how many small parts it had but worth the effort.
Miniart have done a cracking job with this

That's very nicely detailed!
Looks fiddly though

Got busy with the airbrush this weekend. Everything was primed with Mr something-or-other then the engine was sprayed with Tamiya Chrome silver and the floor and sides with a mix of buff and flat white.
Once that had dried I picked out some of the details with a paint brush and then the whole lot was given a semi gloss coat.
Left that to dry overnight and then used a dark wash to dirty it up a bit.

I'm liking that a lot.
Very nice Si. If your first T60 is anything to go by this is going to be a cracker.
Cheers chaps
Carried on with assembly of the interior adding the last few bits and bobs and gluing it all together.
