G'day all hope you are all well
This is Tamiya's lovely SU-76M I will be going for a hard worked slightly beaten look with damaged fenders ect like seen in many pictures and also I will use the supplied figures
Thanks

Hi most of the fighting compartment is now done it was primed and painted with Mig's products as was the dust effects and chipping and streaking rust I imagine the crew compartment's in these type of vehicles would get very dirty especially the floor anyhow i hope you like what iv'e achieved so far
Thanks Lee

Hi, I think this build is going really well so far, nice one! I was going to ask, how did you get such a nice brass effect on the shells?

Well yes,when in the field there is not too much time to worry about kicking excess mud,dirt off your boots.Everything is looking great so far.

The construction is now complete i really like the jig that comes with the kit for the track sag it makes life a lot easier with individual links as for the rest of the assembly it was standard Tamiya (Perfect fit) and now for the fun part of Paint and weathering I am going to use Mig's russian color with a white wash zebra pattern then a lot of mud and pigments to make a hard worked Eastern front machine.
Thanks and i will be back soon with the paint and weathering
Cheers
Lee
