fredben Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Here we have a Hobby Boss 1/35 152mm Shkh Dana vz.77 self propelled Howitzer made by the Czechoslovakia in the 1970s but was used by many other Country's including Poland in Afghanistan in 2010. i have painted the polish colours on this monster. I primed it in black and used three colours for the main Camo and used various washes. This kit was brilliant to build and took longer than any other model i have done due to the many parts in the box. The detail you get with this kit is very good if you want to show it, also three metal parts sheets. see what you think and comments are welcome. Thanks Colin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazza31b Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Stunning work, might have to grab one for myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredben Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks Hazza, Yes, very good kit to build. Pity it has so much detail to show in the cab but can not be seen unless you leave the front of the cab off, as well as the engine and the underneath of the monster, also all the side boxes and doors can be left open to show the inside details. It was a pleasure to build. never have I had to put so many handles on the outside of a vehicle before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob1974 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 That's a very nice job. I once saw one of them for sale on a military vehicle web site but was told it would fit on the drive way (not by the seller but by my ex-wife) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shermaniac Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Looking very good, mine is about half-way done 'fraid it's a bit of a shelf queen at the moment but, I do have plans for it It's a luvly kit though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredben Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks Shermaniac, Yes it is a good kit to build, bit more challenging that the Tamiya Chieftain I have just put on here, very basic and not much detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillstar Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Haven't seen a lot of this finished, but yours is definately one of the best!!! It must be really huge! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredben Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Yes Hillstar, the model is huge so I should think the real thing must be a monster, and thanks for the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
