This is Last model i completed earlier in September. An S-300PMU 30N6E Radar tracking vehicle.
This is a cheap £10 4D model kit that wasn't very good for it's quality, nut i get what i pay for. The model was actually lacking a lot of detail so i put a lot of scratch building and extras to improve it.
A lot of cutting, filling and sanding had to be done.
I replaced the 4D model kit wheels with better Modelcollect rubber wheels.
I also added some plasticard to change to the shape of the windows.
I scratch built a new antenna out of brass rod.
The black primer for the vehicle body with grey primer on the wheels.
This is my attempt at putting an acrylic camouflage by hand. i didn't like the way it looked so i smoothed down the surface with a sanding sponge.
However, i began to like the faded look to it.
I then painted over it in plain old military green with chipping, washing and highlighted details.
This is before gluing the wheels and finishing with the glass parts.
once i finished polishing and placing the glass windows, i sealed the cabin and put filler around the gaps. i then put tape around the windows and sanded the filler.
This is how it looked like once completed.
Thank you for taking the time to see my project,
Hyder
