Andy Moore Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 SS-23 Spider OTR-23 Oka HobbyBoss 1/35 Managed to finish the big Spider today (still trying to find space for it in the display cabinet). Built pretty much OOB with a few subtle enhancements here and there. It's a nice kit although Hobbyboss have simplified a few details and the interior is far from accurate but you can't see that much of it with the missile in place. Lots and lots of fiddly PE which made the purchase of a hold & fold essential. Finished in Slovak colours which makes a nice change from Russian green. The WIP is here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234977804-ss-23-spider-hobby-boss-135/ Hope you enjoy the shots Thanks for looking Andy 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks everyone By the way mine's had a bit of a set back and very nearly on it's way to the breakers yard I've just read the update on your blog. Sounds like it was touch and go for a while but you seem to be on top of it now but I noticed you've lost one of those wonderfully fun to fit tread plates on the nose Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
