Comments welcome.

Nice!

Thanks Colin. Appreciate the comment.

very cool; this one is on my wish list; unusual subject and just a cool-looking vehicle; nice job!

Well done, and personally, I like the fact that you painted it in one color, and not as an assemblage of unpainted, prematurely rusted and old weathered scavenged parts.

Brian - Thanks, glad you like it. Meng's kit is pretty good, not as pricey as the resin kits out there, and worlds simpler than that old RPM monstrosity! If you're interested here's a more detailed write up I did on the build:

=====================================================




Russel - Reference pics for this thing are virtually non-existent. What few there are were taken by the Russians after they found it and show it was painted. I guess a lot of people take artistic liberties with it, knowing it was only a test vehicle. I wanted to present it as it might have actually looked. Currently, it sits in the Kubinka museum in a coat of light grey with black wheels. I'd love to be able to get in there and chip away some of the layers to find out what the original color was. A few of the original pics even suggest it may have had a camo pattern on it, though it's really debatable.


Anyway, glad you liked it!
