Panzershop expensive models, I started to build myself.

Great work so far!
I have no (english) words for this!
My favourite -military- kit would be the SA-11 GadflY / Buk-M1-system.
But I hope you will get another good kit for all of us.
I always planned to buy and build one or more of the very rare kits.
It looks good!

Thank you everyone!
Fourth step, the running wheels, tracks an more...
Friul ATL-11 purchased a T-72 kit (118 pieces per side.), I bought a T-62, 1962 Trumpeter kit, and I add extra wheels.
The vehicle is not true of the T-72 used by the leading wheels, but the T-54-55 type, the same wheel size, but only 5 of the shaft cap screw, not six.

I'm speechless !
It looks so simple in your hands.
A question though, why did you make this odd wavy cut instead of a straight one at the back of the cabin ?

Just my guess, since this is essentially a Zil-leading cabin is only widening the original, there have access to the gear system, also were left here, I know that there is enough hard-mounted type.
The longitudinal stiffening rib, this will increase the carrier.
The cabin floor mounting plate completely off, just like the rear bodywork.

The only thing what came in my mind was.. What would you do.. if someone would pick that up, and stand on it?
No way you can build the radar within one day... Or did you?
Awesome build!

GREAT work so far!
I like scratch-built things.
Also thank you for the hint wth the company, which "made" the PE-set.
This sounds like a german company, so I possible will use their assistance.
greetings...

Hi Juhász. Now thats what I call scratchbuilding. Ive no idea of what the real thing looks like, but this is turning out to be one excellent and cool looking model.
