Not yet of course. I still need to apply a little weathering. I don't want to overdo it though as I'd like to show it as seen at the famous Omsk exhibition.







Comments welcome.

Very nice Oliver. The only thing I can see is there is some crazing (glue turned the paint white) right by every attatchment point of the road wheel arms. Other then that it looks great. Are you going to black out the headlights?

Thanks Scott,
it's not glue which gives the white spots but the varnish which has not yet set.
From the time I took the pics on, this has disappeared.

The right headlight will be gloss black to figure the infrared light like the searchlight. The left one will remain clear. I'll just add a big drop of crystal clear to figure the glass.

:-) :-) :-) When I saw it first.. I'm falling of my chear :-) :-)
It looks funny.. just me again.

NIce little tank. I think you shouldn't over do the weathering.
You have to paint the dig thing though.

I'm sure I don't even know the Dutch words for thing with which to dig, much less shovel...

Are those the kit tracks or aftermarket? If it's the kit tracks that's some NICE work, the kit tracks are terrible.

DId you use the Eduard etch set? How did you get the raised ribs on the rear fuel tanks so nice? Mine look terrible!

Mike,
the tracks are Lion Mark Models ones. They are resin separate links with brass pre-cut rods. The guide horn is nicely detailed with a right shape.
No PE here as I decided for once to limit the extra work on this one. I just replaced the left sight guard with a piece of metal rod.
The ribs on the fuel tanks are just washed hence their prominent look. No drybrush so far, nor weathering as well.

Thanks for the comments

I've got some of the Miniarm links on the shelf for mine, but I am really not happy with my efforts on the external fuel tanks so progress has stalled. Looking at yours makes me think it might be time to reconsider the kit part.
I've got a model point barrel and the eduard etch set about 75% used at this point.

Seeing kits I've stalled on finished here makes me more motivated to go back and finish.

Is this the Zvesda(sp?) kit? Looks pretty good from here. Might have to get me one of these. To me it looks like a go-kart on steroids.. lol. "Q"

wow very nice. Planning on placing any equipment onto it apart from the spade etc?

Dunno yet. Probably not as I would like to show it as seen in an exhibition. So just a little more dusty or muddy after a run on the exhibition track.

Here are the pics which got me inspired.
