Time to start a new project. I've got the Dragon ZSU-23-4V1. ModelKasten wheels and tracks, RB barrels, and the stock Dragon PE frets and decals. I want to finish it an Egyptian sample c.1973 Yom Kippur War.
I'm going to blog this build yet do the blog a differnt way. I want advice/input fromthe members BEFORE I start each step. I think this method will be an education in model building for everyone and a way to improve my modeling skills.
I will post photos and text on each step as I (we) move alongs. The more advisors the better. Who's game for this?

I want to help you where I can. But for now, I don't have anything to mention. Also, you will have to consider what kind of model you want. For example: do you want a model with a lot of mud or do you want a layer of dust? We'll have to know that before " we" can help you with some input.

I also have built this kit, but have no tips/hints for you, at the moment.
I have "saved" the instructions (I have saved all instructions of all my builts), so perhaps I can understand, which parts you mean and perhaps I also can help you.
greetings...

Since it would be in the Sinai Desert it would be dusty but not as dusty as the Ukraine BRMD-2 pics I put up in my last post.
I'm going to take a picture of everything laid out on my workbench to get you guys started.

That's exactly what I want to do! Oh well, thought this would be a good blog but since someone else already did a butt-kicking ZSU.....
I guess I'll just wind up using his photos/info as my guide.
