Pawel,
tyre seems to be resin copy of Ural tyres?


Yes, but Babaez has written me that they are bad and I correct.


One photo, more for several days.


Thanks for all compliments, Pawel

Oh, an interior, that´s cool!
Perhaps a later builder of this kit, can include some lighting (radar-screen and so on), to display the machines inside.
Great work Pawel !!!

Fabulous build Pawel. Also, congrats on the webpage, I am looking forward to all those "Top Secret" kits.

I have started the SA-4 and it has some work to be done, but it is a wonderfull kit considering its complexity. The SA-8 looks just as good.

I found on my computer photos of Polish SA-8 with "shot down" markings. I took them few years ago during military fairs. If Pawel sell my his kit- I will build mine in this camouflage.

Regards,

Michal

I'm really looking forward to seeing this one completed! I've wanted to build a model of the SA-8 for quite a few years now. I survived an attack from one of these back on January 30, 1991, so I have somewhat of a personal interest in these.

Yes, I am a fan of smaller scales, and this is a remarkable kit!. They also make a 1:76 version of this kit which is also quite impressive. I also saw Pawel's SA-4 Ganef...Really so impressive!

One Gecko shot at you in 91? I would like to hear about your experience...

Wow!

1st Cool thing; seeing the SA-8 come together
2nd cool thing; realising there will be a kit!!
New Personal Challenge - Select the kits, and reward Pawel for his contribtuons to the hobby!!

Great stuff, and good to see that gap in the multi layered air defense system that the cold war had.

Cheers

Jamie
