Thank you very much, Jacques! I try to tell about my building as more, as I can, and hope, that the next Scrooge will be greater and more detalized than mine!

Nice to see you back Evgeny. 2 IS-4 kits will set you back a lot of money. This kit is going to be worth a LOT when done.

Primering:

Shading:

Almost painted. Ready to launch!

Now we should make dacals to continue... I'm trying to find a man who will print them for me.
So, it's a tima to make a rocket! It had a 1,6 meter length, so I took a 40 mm plastic tube and Gilette)))

Gilette has a 46,7 mm diameter (45,7 need). I put those tube inside it to make my rocket harder.

The decision how to make a missle!

ATTENTION!!! Before cutting spray tank you should be sure it is empty!!! Then take a saw and begin to cut accurately until you hear a quiet whistle of air. STOP CUTTING!!! And wait 5-10 minutes while the air pressure is falling down/ Then the tank come soft and you can cut it as you want/

Last Sunday I found, that I've made some mistakes during counting missle sizes... So, it became clear, that Gilette cans are too fat for my missle...

But also I found, that Old Spice cans are ideal!!! (
And it is finally correct. This week I restored the lost parts...

Now some good news! I ordered decals for launch container. Those guys, who bought this model, can take these decals at me.



And finally, I've bought correct tracks from Miniarm:

Work is going on.

Yeah, decals I'll get tomorrow. But tracks are not sent yet... I bought two kits of tracks, about 15 dollars each.

What is the diameter and height of the "missile"? I am thinking I may be able to find some thin wall PVC tubing, or aluminum tubing, to make this in one piece.
Thanks

Diameter is some more, than 160 cm. 1:35=4,6-4,8 cm. But our container is some fatter, that should be (2,20 meter in 1:35 instead of 2 meter thickness), s I did a 4,9 cm missle thickness.
Heigt (with heavy head) from lower parts of exhausts to top, is about 49,9 cm (1:35) Later I will show a picture with sizes of different parts.
