Jb65rams Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 First up, something a bit different. A Soviet Aerosan RF-8, basically a snowmobile mated with an airboat. Purchased from Amazon for £8.25 just before Christmas. The good news is that it has just started raining. Means I can't mow the lawn so I can make a start. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hi JB and welcome to the GB. Great choice of kit for this GB. I have seen one of these made before and it resulted in a rather lovely model so I'm looking forward to following your progress.

Pin Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 JFYI, Trumpeter's spelling is wrong, the correct term is "Aerosani" meaning "air sledge" (not a proper noun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 @Pin Thanks for the correction, title changed. I have been making good progress, enjoying the delights of a simpler build. First up, the engine was assembled and painted, The main body has been assembled and has visited the paintshop. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb65rams Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 Thanks. Progress has been swift on this one. Gloss coated and decaled, only three decals and I still manged to stuff them up. One of the ones on the side wrapped its self up overnight, so had to paint the n & E in by hand using red paint and a cocktail stick Calling this one done. A nice enjoyable build The kit did come with two figures, but i didn't like the poses. The long term plan to do a small diorama, I have some resign ski troops and will look for some better crew figures. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyOD Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 That's brilliant. Very unusual. Any idea what it says on the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
