This is DML's ZSU-23-4V1 Shilka with Eduard PE and Modelkasten tracks. All in all, I was quite pleased with the build. This is the first time I painted markings on (a pleasant experience which I must do again in the near future), as well as the first time I experimented with chipping paint.

What do you guys think? I will dust the model and do some final weathering tonight. In particular, how did the chipping come out? Does it look good or campy?

Jeff, I think it looks very good, especially the markings. I think you should weather the shovels and tone down the tracks - they really stand out from the whole model. Also, the tracks between the 5th and 6th road wheels on the right side have a big color change. I like the paint chips.

Thanks Paul! I toned down the tracks, and evened them out when I did my dusting. Now there isn't a noticable difference between the 5 and 6. After the paint dried, I drybrushed a little brown on the shovels, followed by a sprinkling of pastel dust, so they look a bit more realistic.
