Dmitrii, that engine work is really-really top notch! After a start with this extreme quality I'm really curious how you build and finish this model

On the bench:
- Tristar Panzer IV ausf. B. 1:35 - France 1940 Campaign
- Dragon Panzerjäger I ausf. B 1:35
- Revell Leopard 2A4 1:35

Hi, Dmitrii!!!

VERY NICE INDEED!!!
As Zsolt asked, I am also curious as to which color scheme do think you might use for the exterior? Winter or Summer..?
Also, though I rarely build my AFVs with full Interiors, your style of Engine detailing is how I build my 1/24 and 1/25 Cars, and the vast majority of my 1/35 Soft-skinned Vehicles!
Having been in various Automotive fields for over 25 years, (Parts Manager, Sales and Service Manager + formal schooling). I am lucky in that I have intimate knowledge and experience with Automotive Vehicles, Industrial Equipment, Agricultural Equipment, Construction Equipment, Forestry Equipment, and Consumer Products; this experience is INVALUABLE in my modelling efforts, which means that I can REALLY APPRECIATE the time and effort that you have put into your Engine and it's components!

I will be following your build with MUCH INTEREST!

Oh, Dennis, is always nice to hear such words from an experienced person, thank you very much!
SU-85 is a summer version of the color, winter camouflage I did last model T-44 in the genre Panzerwaffe 46. It can also be seen on the forum

Continue to build the Su-85 from MiniArt.
In many ways, ready to lower part of the hull. Well done, the basic color, chips, wash and steaks ready. Next on the plan - to put the shells and their placement, dirt and dust.
From myself - added the wires, a pair of springs - linkage to the control levers, well and tried to re-sculpt texture the driver's seat, I went tolerably well.

New Updates buildings SU-85 MiniArt
1. Made ammunition load SPG. Shells - came in the kit decals from MiniArt kit with 85-mm shells (35079). Cases - from the same place.
2. Ready inside the upper frontal part, we only to finalize the driver's hatch, and it will be completed.
3. Cannon, or rather part of it, which is located inside the machine - ready also almost completely. Remaining the gunner's seat and dirt on it.
4. Now I work with the sides of the crew compartment, Route wires from the antenna to the switch. And tired of collecting laying under the PPSh discs.
In general, until something like this comes out.

Updates on building MiniArt SU-85
1. Ready lower part of the crew compartment.
2. Completed work of the transmission compartment, all glued and soiled.
3. Ready the inside of the UFD with breech guns.
4. It is also fully prepared to board drying.
Photos of the finished interior will be later.
So something like this.

Simply said: Breath-taking build.
If I were Miniart I'd buy your photos to use them as reference and marketing material... Stunning. Congratulations!
cheers,
Zsolt
(btw somebody mentioned earlier that your build inspires and wakes up an instinct to buy this kit as soon as possible

another good point to contact Miniart's marketing department
