I present one of my first models after two decades of break. It is the model of Soviet armored car BA-6 on a scale 1 / 72 (UniModel). It represents a Soviet car after entering into the Polish September 17, 1939, abandoned in the background (no fuel) Polish light tank 7TP.

In preparation I have the same model that will be much better executed, plus the elements photoetched

Welcome back from your break buddy.

I had a similar come back a few years ago and since then I enjoy modeling very much, I wish you the best.

You 've picked a diff theme imo. Nicely built.

Hi Adam

I like what you did with this one, the extra details on the turret and body, like the handles on the doors, and the engine crank handle at the front are very nice touches. I like the subtle dusty weathering too

cheers
Neil

Thanks Neil, I always try to add something to modelu.Dałem just too thick wire. Now I have a wire with a diameter of 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm. For bonding BA I had a problem with a turret, you can see it on the photo. I used a blade with a candle "Ikea". At the workshop, I have a few models, they can finally complete.

Adam, very interesting subject that you built. I can see from your pictures that you needed to do quite a bit of work to get things right. Your extra effort with all your little details really enhances your build. Thanks for sharing this unusual subject.

Cheers,
Jan

Thanks John. I try to "improve" model. It amuses me leeched detail by yourself, without buying ready-made elements. I'm going to do on a small guide for modelers (beginners), describe the known and their own ways of leeched elements.

Great job on a hard kit Adam. Just looking at the in-progress pictures tells it all. Really like the additional work you did to it as well. And welcome back from your "break"!

Thanks. I try to, but still I can learn, preview other techniques. In so doing, I intend to create models of advice for modelers like yourself can do something and fix the model.
