So far that's outstanding indeed Igor!
What extra set you've been using?
Are you going to paint the camo depicted in your first pic?
I'll follow this thread for sure. Congrats!

Personally I prefere the second one, it seems to me more interesting.
Where the pics were taken?
Is it a summer camo?
Anyway you've been doing an impressive job with that bunch of photo etched parts

Well, I can't wait to see your next steps Igor
I don't say this as a flattery. I've seen a lot of modeller sites and I think that probably Russian modellers on average are the best in the world, so I've been trying to improve myself learning from them
cheers
