George BaconThanks Fabian 🙂 I was waiting for the Trumpeter kit, but found this on sale at a great price ($11). Maybe it wasn't that great... 🙁

Fabian D.Nice sanding job.😉 Good to see you have added some Afganistan Accsessories. Was the gun ontop of the turret included?

George BaconThanks Fabian. Yes the gun on top of the turret is an AGS-17 grenade launcher and was include with the kit. 🙂 It comes with a belt of shells, but I can't find any photos of it with the shells so I haven't used them yet. 🙁

Kerry COXYes, I do apologise for not commenting on your build in my first reply George. But I will now and, I am also most impressed with all you have done here mate, as the 'tone' comes across well. Cheers mate 🙂

Kerry COXPhotographs of the real thing that are then photoshopped to make them look like a model is not fair mate. !!! LOL 🙂 🙂 🙂
:-0What a stunner George, and just perfect in every way from what you have presented here. I am most impressed, like everyone else mate. 🙂

George BaconWow Kerry, thank you so much for your comments! You certainly know how to build a guy up! 🙂

George BaconThanks everybody! 🙂. I'd like to try the new Trumpeter kit someday, just to see the differences...

Fabian D.Well, I guess there is not much more what the Trumpeter kit can offer in terms of exterior detail, which you haven´t included in your build. Splendid work here. 👍
But what amazes me most is your ability to turn a "boring" (meaning not modulated) paintjob into such a great looking model...
17 May 2015, 14:16
George BaconThanks Fabian! 🙂 I tried modulation a couple of times but must not have done it right, because I didn't see much difference (maybe I was too heavy with the next layer of paint). It seemed like I got the results I wanted with just "washes" and "filters" (which is kind of like modulation, but on top of the basecoat). However, I do want to try "hairspray" chipping!😉

George BaconThanks Gerald and Aghis! 🙂 Aghis, the tires are a problem because they are vinyl and have several ejector pin holes on one side. Normally, you could just mount the tires with the holes facing in. But, if you want to align the tire-tread correctly, one side (the right) will have the holes showing. 🙁 I filled the holes with a slurry of super-glue mixed with corn starch. Then had to file and sand them smooth (it was a hard job because the vinyl doesn't sand well). I was happily surprised to find the tires looked perfect after I covered the sanding scars with acrylic flat-black paint! 🙂 I brushed on a sand colored enamel wash and finished with dust using an air-brush.
