Hi Beautiful people. I managed to finish this fantastic kit from Zvezda finally. Been working on this for too long.
Full details and more pictures on my blog. As usual, I don't want to post too much pictures on the forum and slow down the page -

Gary,
I have this kit waiting, picked it up in the wake of ModelZone closing down, in fact was the 1st I grabbed while I could as I no longer have a model shop close to me. Well I hope that mine ends up half as good as yours, the mud looks great and the camo is spot on, great job mate

I am very honored sir but mine is just some amateur work. I'm pretty sure a veteran like yourself could do something much better then mine. You made a right choice getting it.

Did it go together pretty well? any major fit and finish issues or anything like that?
Sorry for asking, it's on my to build list and I have heard some good things about the kit, but I just wanted to get your opinion on the kit.

Sure Ask away. I didn't had any issues fit-wise. Sadly, my kit came with a somewhat wrapped lower hull/chassis so a considerable amount of force and time went into straightening it out.
The one thing I could nick pick is the tow cable. You might want to get some metal tow cable for yours. The other thing you might want to get is the metal barrel because if you are not careful, getting rid of the seams is a dangerous work.
Watch out for the weak suspenion arms pegs as well. I broke off two suspension arms so I had to pin them with a brass rod.
