Well done, did you find the MiniArt kit to be a tad delicate to assemble?

Great job, I like the fact that the weathering and shading isnt overdone.

Very nicely finished piece Tony. What decals did you use for the North Korean markings?

First of All, Thanks for the wonderful compliments,appreciated very much.

The kit was not in the just falls together category by any means but it's still the best one out there for the subject. I feel the most fragile thing about it is the road wheel suspension,very thin and light weight so be careful.

The decals are from Hi-Decal for a 1/72nd helo. I had to really work with those things. Either the quality was poor or they were old.

Thanks Again to all

Thanks to you for sharing Tony

I remember you showed me your su-76 in progress when I posted my first comment one and half years ago here on Armorama. I was asking for some opinions about Miniart kit

Again, that's really convincing. I like a lot the way you've painted and weathered

OH Yeah Mauro I remember you,has it been that long ago really?
You weren't able to work on yours at the time because of going back to school I think it was.

Well tell me,did you ever get to work on your 76?

You know what they say about time as you get older,it's true it just flies by.
Thanks for the compliment

If it's a Korean vehicle, why does it have Chinese insignia?

Overall it's a very good job though. Masterfully done!
