You did a very nice job on your Gvozdika. I know what you mean about the small parts. I'm building Trumpeter's BTR-60PU right now, and I won't be sorry if I never see another tiny photoetch part in my life!

LOL. Nice work but to hear modelers complain about too many small parts and PE after all the years of begging for them...
I like the tracks as done. I know they are not quite as nice as the "workable" ones, but they have a LOT less parts too. You did a very nice job on them.
The only "critique" I would make is that if this is meant to be a gun in regular use, it would not have that much rust on it. Just something to think about.

Jacques: because after I'd finished it soI saw its color regular and I add rust to make highlight.
Euan Angus: I use mr color 136 and 130,mix them 5-3 (136-5 and 130-3)

I am not trying to criticize it, especially if you like what you have done. I was just pointing out a place where you could improve. Breaking up monotone color schemes is a difficult process for even the best modeler.
For your next model, if you want, try using different shades of the base color of green to create effects rather than rust. This is a matter of personal taste, so you can also ignore my advice.

thank you very much for your advice,Jacques.Although i like using weathring more than shade,i try to use shade and heavy modulation in the next model.It'll have some difficulties if i paint my next model camo
