Hello everybodys,

I started the assembly of this machine.



Assembly for the moment super easy.









The hydrojets have caused me problems, one hand is difficult to put in place properly.





Then photoetching session, provided in the box.









on the way to the top of the box.



Bye.

Hello

Small advances with the beginning of the upper part of this BTR.

Already I put the wheels to see how he was.



it's big ... but without a meter stallion it's hard to see, suddenly ...



so it's bigger than a VBCI but not much, not higher or wider ... NATO standard ...

the side where I made the additions of pieces ...



Some pieces glued to the back



Then I finished the top part,












Everything is in place except the antennas of course.

Then I stuck it all on the crate.













Then I assembled the turret.



Go to the painting tour!

Looks good.
To bad on the rear gap.
Looks to be a decent kit.

I really like this Russian design. I wonder if in the future the Russians will mount that 57mm gun turret on this 8x8 AFV?

Nice work, alright. I’d overlooked this kit, but you’ve made it quite a viable build.

Hello everyone,

I did not do it green Russian but with shades of Russian vehicles that I had. Sand, Mustard and green ... well, it does not matter.

And here is the result after three sessions and a few tens of centimeters of hidden bands.











I was very apprehensive when starting this kit, Panda drags pans at the level of quality adjustments, instructions ...
There is a good surprise that two errors in the notice, the first on the suspension arms, those who receive the two shock absorbers go to the front and rear of the vehicle and not side by side at the rear.
the second is on anti-tank missile protection panels, inversion to be done.

Cheer

Hello everybody

He is done.

I really liked this building and painting, which is good that it can be decorated as you want since it has just returned to service in the Russian forces.

Go and have a blaze, here are some pictures.



the antennas are not glued to be able to transport it on display.





Here he is next to a modern Russian vehicle (soon finished, I hope)



The Bumerang much higher than the T-14 and almost as long ...





and that's it, go on, I'm going to finish the other vehicles.

Bye.

Gaël
