Hi all,
hopefully I'm done with this tiny armored vehicle.
The kit is issued by Zvezda and is quite easy to build. The only real pain is the vinyl tracks which I got rid of. I decided to replace them by resin ones made y LionMarc models.
Another AM ref available is the Modelpoint barrel which I didn't use this time. So I had to drill the muzzle and the side holes (don't know the correct word).

It is painted in the camouflage pattern seen at the Omsk armament exhibition and is weathered to look like after a run on the exhibition track.




I hope you'll like it. More pics in a near future.

HI

Excellent!

Good to see there is another modern Russian armor fan.

I like it. I picked one up on a whimn and thoroughly enjoyed it.



Mine ended up green/grey/black. I have the comd variant and think I have the scheme

Thanks for sharing and I look fwd to your next kit!

Very nice model Olivier!
I like the look of BMD's , they look like some kind of lunar mobiles

Happy modeling!

Thanks Tom,
next one should be the other side though. Hummer TOW or M2A2ODS. I've not made the decision up to now.

I uploaded a full article in my personal page with pics of the in-progress and the complete model.

Hi

I have had your page bookmarked for a while. We have pretty much the same taste in kits so I guess trading with you would either be very hard or very easy
