Hi friends

This is my attempt at Tank Mania's 9K33 Osa/SA-8 Gecko (kit no 35-002).
The Osa is a soviet mobile SAM system from the early 1970's.
This one is sporting Libyan colours, painted with a BIG part artistic freedom...

This is a great kit of a striking subject, not overly complicated but not one for beginners.
I've added an antenna and some metal wires, nothing else.
The model's painted with acrylics and weathered with acrylics and oil paints.


Thanks Pawel/Tank Mania for a stunning model!!
