Just starting on my Dragon 1/35th SU85M. Textured the hull with liquid cement and lightly sanded. Replace the fan guard screen and added louvres, added tiedowns on the outer fenders and a wire handle on the rear transmission cover. Added a little damage to the fender.
Here is what I have so far. The flash drowns some detail out. :
Everything added has been scratchbuilt.
Next to add some bead weld between the air intakes and around the aera of the commander's cupolla.
Thanks to Lord Da and The Devil Cat for suggestions and help so far
This is what I have so far. As always any comments are welcome.

This looked real good, Lord Se, the textured surface is awesome, and the scratch builds are dead on too. The slogan is very Russian, and captured the essence of the war against stooperd tyranny.
I wouldn't worry too much about Stooperd Cat here, we don't need his permission or him telling us if the gun is big enough or not, for all I care, I could do a midget tank with midget gun, and he can't do nothing about it. #:-)

Once again, you folks at the artist level of injection modeling overawe me. Having said that, just how did you manage to place the screens within the engine deck without mangling the fine plastic cross members?
thanks

Same thing I was wondering---very very cleanly done---impressive addition on your part Lord Glue.
Nice to see this thread has Da Cat and Dave scrapping already---life is good
Keep us posted.

ps: I note there is no mention in this thread of your "other supportive buddy" involved in this mini Russian group build.

Hey, that looks great. I like the engine mesh screen.
