This vehicle i finished earlyer this year its the Russian PPRU-1M SBORKA Mobile recon and command post,Nato code name DOG EAR.
Based on MT-LBu tracked AFV it is equiped with a radar for the control of tactical air defence systems armed with missiles and artillary such as the Tunguska sa-19,ZSU-23 shilka, strella sa-13.the Sborka is capable of carrying out target designation whilst moving or stationary.
The kit is a 1:35 scale resin kit from SP Designs .It did build up quite well, with a bit of coaxing. i needed to add to the kit and chop and change a few items as you do with most resin kits.The tracks are the resin ones supplied with the kit.
i painted the model with humbrol enamels and added the camo freehand using an airbrush . i have pinwashed it and then drybrushed it..
(there is a build blog over on www.modelarmour.com for anyone interested )
i hope you like the pics as much as i enjoyed building the kit.
thanks Roy

That looks really nice. That may be my next SP purchase. How were the tracks, especially around the drive wheels?

david
the tracks were pretty good and they fitted the drive wheel fine ,i just dropped a strip of track into a cup of very hot water for 30 seconds lifted it out and bent it around the drive wheel untill they had cooled down....the new kits come with different tracks now,i think there miniart ones not sure .....happy days...

Hey Roy!

This one looks amazing! I for one really like the "subtle" weathering, really a change from most models seen nowadays.
very well done.

All the best,

Andreas

SP Designs kits come with their own tracks but you have the option of buying the Master Club tracks with them if you want.

Roy, beautiful work...I have so many builds to finish it is not funny, and you actually get some done!

Awesome build!!!!! Just wish my skills were on par with this level of modeling.
