hello guys !
I'm building the EEC 1937 BT-7 early model.
It's a decent kit but it needs a bit of work.
I decided to rework the plate over the engine.
Now I need to find myself sone PE screen.
Tell me how you like it !

That looks like a great kit, penpen. Looks nice and detailed. I have always wanted to make a BT7 diorama showing off its capability to run without it's tracks for a short period of time. For the screen, why not use very fine flyscreen type mesh material? I got some with an Academy Hummer i bought ages ago. I am not sure where you might be able to pick up some fine mesh, but it would save you money on PE sets.
PS you need to work on that seam under the exhaust pipes

Wow penpen, you are going all out on Soviet stuff, glad to see this! The scrach grill housing that you made looks great. Can we expect some more scrachbuilding? Can't wait to see it complete.
