I was working on this kit ever since September last year and it finally reached a state that one could call almost finished. It is at this point where I would like to seek you advice about its current state.
I haven't added too much weathering yet and am unsure about whether it would be needed or not.
Any suggestion or feedback is more than welcome!
Thank you!

First off, you build looks amazing! Now I want to build one as well!
The weathering: I would leave it much as it is, maybe some more dust? I would especially do something about all the windows as they look like someone spends all there time cleaning them. Weathering clear plastic is tricky but it makes a huge difference in my humble opinion
But as I said absolutely gorgeous!

This is a fine build for sure! But I agree that the windows could use a bit of dust or grime. And (because I don't know), are there no decals for the missile, like ones that ID a specific access panel, or "CAUTION", etc??

Thank you for the quick reply, guys! Looking at it now, I can indeed see how the windows can profit from some dirt
As for the missile, there are a lot of stencils on there but these are all white. They would look great on a standard, Russian green missile for sure but not on this white one. I'm not even sure, the Iraqi version had the same stencils.

Awesome work Christian. Its great to see a Scud done up in Iraqi markings, particularly when it is applied and weathered as well as yours. The worn and dusty look is very convincing and the open doors and hatches add nicely to the overall effect for that hastily abandoned look.

Thank you, Karl!
I actually left the hatches and doors open to show the great interior detail provided with the kit. I never thought of the hastily abandoned look until you mentioned it

Incredible build! If you decide you want to add figures, I have an extensive collection of Iraqi uniforms and field gear from both 1991 and 2003 conflicts, so I'd be happy to provide pics to help you with building and painting.
