... and a strange (but practical) new (?) type of "length and length" tracks...    There isn't individual links, the solitaire guide teeth you saw are to use as replacement tracks on the basket or so... The final result is very good and convincent, as the kit itself:    I probably will need to paint and install all the wheels and tracks before paint the upper hull and turret just because of the side of rubber guards in the front of the vehicle. Still researching. Hope you like! ACC&?W |

I would be interested to see how this beast did in Syria. Word was the Russians sent one to test it against ISIS.💀

Thanks a lot mates!
Ian: I really didn't know, but with 1 MG, 2 grenade launchers, 2 cannons and 4 AT missiles, I think it can made a huge damage everywhere.
Paul: The tracks are really good and easy to build. Nice touch of Zvezda. Nothing like a metal tracks, but far better than LBLs.

Well, lots of things done during last weekend. I started the paint work, using Ammo paints from a set exclusive to paint Russian Armor Show's vehicles. But, the colors are too light and I added some "dirty grey" to make the ligh grey (the original was almost white) and black to made the darker grey. Some miles of masking tape and after several hours, I had this:    Next, the yellow spots and finish the build. After that I'll need to wait some weathering products to finish the vehicle. Hope you like! ACC&?W |
