Hello !

My new job, a Chinese APC made by Hobby Boss.
The kit is composed of 226 pieces in 5 sprues(plus lower and upper hull), 1 PE fret, 6 rubber tire.
Pieces fits generally well, you must be careful when you're gluing the upper hull, lower hull and rear panel together.

Hi Romain- thats a very nice job you've done there. I like the extra detailing you've given it and I'm looking forward to seeing it all painted up- good luck with the paint job!

Thanks for sharing! Nice and clean build - lokoking forward to some paint!

cheers,
Jurjen

that is a very cool build,thanks for shareing.

Excellent work!

Hi !

Thank for your replies !

Basecoat is applied !
To do it, I scan Hobby boss painting guide, fit it to 1:35 scale, and redraw camouflage stains with photoshop.
When profiles are print on tracing paper, I cut stains on large masking tape to applied it in desired place on the model !

For exemple :



And camo :









Best regards

Romain

Looks great Romain....

Thats a great way to do the camouflage scheme I must say, very inventive and it looks great too. Are you planning to weather the vehicle?

I'll have to give your camo technique a try. It looks great! Were the kit wheels one piece or multiples?

Very, very nice. Another 6 wheeler like the Heller VAB.

Does this kit have vinyl tires?








~ Jeff

Never mind as I found my answer on the tires. Not a real popular kit as it looks like some have it discontinued.







~ Jeff

Thank for replies !

@Karl: yes, it's planned ! You will see!

@ Matt & Jeff: wheels are composed of three parts: two half rim and a vinyl tire.

Very nice build!
Havent seen this vehicle to much on forums yet, I wonder why.
Planning on creating a base?
Can you share some more info on how you did the masking? With printing etc?

very nicely done,i really like the paint job,very nice.

Hi guys !

New updates : chipping and markings !















@ Boris : I don't plan to create base
And to create masking I scanned Hobby boss painting guide, fit views to 1:35 scale, and redraw camouflage stains with photoshop.
Then I printed it on tracing paper, I superimposed tracing paper on large masking tape and cut stains on large masking tape to applied it in desired place on the model

Interesting weathering Romain- its good to see one of these in model form with some decent wear and tear on it- there's not many pictures out there of the real thing looking well used, so its great to see some artistic licence! (Unless you are using a picture as a reference?)

By the way, what do the three extra markings on the left side represent?

Looks good..

great work looks very well used.

Good evening

My chinese APC is done!

Weathering with AK stuff for Modern nato (AK-121) or OIF vehicle (AK-120), plus mig pigments !

@ Karl : You'r right, there's not many pics of this vehicle ... :/
But i found some on the net ! And i use pics of other PLA wheeled vehicle as reference.

I have no idea of the meaning of the three extra marking, I saw them in a pic, and they bring some colors !
