STZ-5 Soviet Artillery Tractor

Vulcan Models 1/35

I built this a couple of years ago and it was a really nice little kit with some neat touches like metal coil springs for the suspension. The tarp hanging on the side was made from tissue soaked in watered down PVA. It was a bit of a cover-up job to hide a huge thumb print on the side of the cargo bed from some spilt plastic weld.

Hope you enjoy the shots

Another brilliant build of yours Andy, the grime on the windscreen built up outside the arc of the wipers is a masterful detail! Would you mind sharing how you achieved that effect?

Thanks everyone

Thanks doozer, it was done by masking the ark of the wipers, then a light spray with matt varnish. To be honest I wouldn't do it that way again. With varnish it's hard to tell how much build up you're getting and you can easily go too heavy which this is a bit. In future I'll probably do it with thinned watercolour.

Another belter from you Andy. Odd ball subjects like this always look good when they have been done so well. Joe
