Hello!

I started a new model I wanted to build. It is the Katyusha from the russuin brand Alan in scale 1/35
Personally I think this is the most coolest vehicle I ever build. Nicely square with some occasional problems that can be solved. That is why I use an Eduard set and some resin wheels.

This kit has some fitting problems but it is nothing to worry about. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Have fun!

Greetz, Hilbert

The engine is included in the kit. Still, I haven't searched for reference pics yet. That is also why I leave the grills open.




This is the way I solved an L construction from plastic to thin PE. Otherwise it won't fit. You don't see the strips when finished.

You look to be off to a very good start and I look forward to seeing this build advance.

Wow, thats gt nice detail! I built the Zvezda kit which was the Studebaker chassis like in the picture above, and it didnt have near that much detail. It was a decent kit, but the Alan kit looks very nice! Keep us updated!

This Kit is looking good! I also built this kit but honestly i did it wrong, right now im building the truck from the same brand and nom im prepared to do things better! Here you can see pictures of my model finished: http://xmartifacts.com/alan-hobbies-ltd-no-0008-katyusha-135/ Im aure the kit needs more improvements but the result wasnt too bad... Well, i think so. Cheers!
