Alex, here it is:





Bob R



what's the flash like on that kit? I purchased a Zvezda BY a couple of weeks ago with the intention of making it a weekend build. But after 2 hours removing flash from 4 parts I gave up and put it back in the box.

John,
I really like the way the BTR-40 came out. I think I'm going to add it to my next purchase list.

Thanks Alex, Sean and Sal for the kind words.
I still need to work on the M1114 for this Campaign !

Doing double builds is the only way to shrink my stash without selling kits

Can I play? Here's my destroyed BA-10 ... uhhhh ... errr ... BA-3 ... Well, it's kind of an abortion that threw together last week. I did a bit of free-styling on this one for the fun of it. It's going into a Russian street scene diorama in the next week or so.

PS: You guys have some awesome builds. It inspires me whenever I open the Armorama site.

Waiting on replacement etch. Ordered it from an international EBay store and didn't think to make sure it wasn't on the last slow boat out of China.

Here is my post for the armored car that I'll be building. I didn't get a photo until after I had assembled a few parts.

Brent, I built that kit a few years ago and I found that it was a little small for both my hands and eyes. But it did turn out a nice model especially that snazy camo scheme. Let me know how you find the kits construction.

Hi Mike, we'd love to have had you play but you've missed the point of the campaign. The idea is you post a pic at the start, a few as you go along and then one at the end. The campaign is all about engagement with the other people in teh campaign. So sorry, we'll have to turn down this build for the campaign, but I do like it. There's still a few months left so is there something else in your stash you can join with?
