Hey Guys,

Just finished the new MAZ-537 prime mover and made it haul an IS-2 I built a couple of years back . Attached are pictures for your viewing pleasure. Comments and suggestions are welcome, as always.

Cheers

Wow!! What a monster! This must be equal in size roughly to the Antar of the 50's?

Detail and finishing is superb - well done!

Excellent job. Now you just need to find a place to display it

Wow, cool looking beast... Good job. One slight thing that catches the eye, the front wheels might need a little more dust, especially the upper parts.

I must get one, but where to display it?

Thanks a lot for the complements, everyone ! Proper display is definitely a challenge with something this big, but I'll think of something .

WOW!
You guys are really goooooood! I know that none of my models could be displayed here, much too embarrassing!
Anyway, a question:
I am looking for reference materials, models by others and kit resources for WWII Soviet airfield equipments, trucks, tractors, field (mobile) repair wagons (vans), and surrounding AA, searchlight vehicles.
Could some of you point me to some such info?
I'm a newbie at plastic modelling, but a long time free flight modeller.
Also looking for good books or other media about diorama building. I'd thought to try the various Verlinden publications (vol.1, 2, ...etc). Suggestions?
Thank you.

Nice work!

BTW, I didn't know the MAZ-537 had a built-in time machine capable of retrieving tanks from the past...
