My freshly finished project. Kit from Meng, Absolutely no complain about the quality of the kit, good fit, good details, rich features.





















Hope you enjoy

Beautiful job, lovely weathering, the chipping in particular and admire the photography.
Well done all around

Very nice finish! Really like that "used, but not abused" overall appearance.

Stunning job!
I'm in the process of building the same kit, loving every minute of it and hoping it will turn out half a decent as yours.
Congrats!

Outstanding work

It does look so great.Love every detail of it.

looks great, nice work.

That is a truly superb piece of work all round - just wonderful!

Incidentally, how did you find the kit tracks as I read one magazine review where they said they were troublesome to fit together and had to be replaced by Friuls?

Really great finish! Looks beautiful!

Wow,
Best weathering I think I've ever seen. Got any panzers?

Thanks for your comments.

The kit tracks are problematic indeed. While they can fit together with extreme care, the cylindrical-shaped pivot pin on each link is way too fragile that each time I tried to clikck a link on to another, it turned out to be a matter of luck to keep that pivot pin unbroken, I did get quite a few of them broken and ended up drilling through and inserted a piece of copper wire to link them up. Even if one can link them all up, the whole thing can still be easily broken into sections with minor carelessness.

I think MENG shall take an alternative way by changing the pivot pin into a semi-sphereic shape, like most of the main-stream manufactueres do.

Very nicely done.

Thank you very much for all your good words

Thank you very much for the informed summary about the kit's tracks...Friuls it is then!

Once again, that ZSU of yours is a magnificent AFV model.
