Hello
Since I've scratched correct 1/35 scale UB-32-57 rocket launcher for my resin URAL 4320 "Broom" rocket guntruck upgrade set, I receifed a few requests about this launcher for Libyan pickups. so.. vox populi- vox dei. I've started building Meng's Pick-up for this project..

Really nice job, Kamil!!!
The way you did the interior is stunning, great highlights and colors. The chipping is also very realistic. Hairspray or AK Interactive mediums?

as for the paintchips- i was testing AK Worn Effect liquid. at this moment i see no difference (except the price:>) between AK medium and 'no name' hairspray.. but i wish to make a few more tests with different paints

This is the version I've been considering for my pick-up so its great to see you get stuck in Kamil. Looking pretty awesome already with the chipping and denting. Who makes the AK's in the cab by the way?

Great job on the dents and paint chipping. I am Laughing at the axle jack under the rocket pod. I guess necessity is the mother of invention. Keep up the good work.

Cheers & Semper Fi

Hey Kamil, your truck is looking top notch. When I saw the truck bed I swore you must have been on our roofing crew and stole our truck, looks just like a well worn, used and abused truck. Best chip and worn look yet. Dam, I can hear the screeching of metal against the bed as you load it up. Real nice job. By the way, where did the jack come from, looks good.

Great job on the truck .The inside cab detail is great, weathering is superb. With a truck this weathered would they have a brand new rollbar?
Your resin launcher upgrade is nice. Cannot wait to see it painted and mounted.

Cheers & Semper Fi,
