This is the 1/72 kit of the MAZ-543 TEL and SCUD-B by Tokso Model, which proved to be an enjoyable build over 2-weeks. I completed it in Iranian markings based on a scheme I saw in Osprey New Vanguard #120 SCUD Ballistic Missile & Launch Systems 1955-2005, mainly because it was different to all the other finished models I could find online.

aking a break from Aircraft with this quite nicely done kit. I have to thank Joseph Rocamora for sharing the images of his build, and Prime Portal for a very handy walkaround (which shows quite a number of details that need to be added or improved upon). I bought some Tankograd wheels with a more accurate tread pattern and better detail etc. and have been adding a bit of extra detail here and there. The next two post (two because of the ten-image upload limit) show progress so far. I'm thinking of doing an Iranian machine based on a colour profile in Osprey New Vanguard #120. Base coat on... Bit more progress with cab assembled and camo splotches applied. There's still a long way to go, not so much with assembling parts as there're not many left: three ladders, driving mirrors, stabilising legs and of course wheels. Bu in terms of details, washes, and weathering there's still a lot to do. I still have to make exhaust pipes, refine mirrors, scratch-build the roof-mounted light and its protective cage I cut away, add a telescoping antenna to the cab, make various lifting eyes and hand-holds, and figure out the octopus that is the missile control and monitoring wiring harness. I also have to mount the doors once I fix their glass in place. The elephant in the room is the heap of hydraulic piping that runs in the belly of the beast beneath the missile cradle. The kit appears to be inaccurate here, as the area around the cradle erection hydraulic ram is open to the ground through the chassis, whereas the kit has a curved floor and no see-through. So this will be my excuse for being representative rather than replicative with piping etc.
