Torbjörn Hanö Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Finished! The kit is a bit over engineered in some parts, most of all the rear hull. And half of the plastic is unused, some of it goes straight to the spares box. Great fit over all. I really enjoyed it, though. I don’t know why I’m so fond of rusted blue vehicles. Maybe it’s because of the old SAAB I drove when I was 20. Hm. The only thing I'm not so pleased with is that the dust turned out a little bit too orange. Anyway; hope you like what you see. Til next time, happy modelling! Torbjörn 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vytautas Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Looks great! I especially liked the combination of colors - red and blue look perfect. And the model itself is very interesting, looks not ordinary. Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've built kits for 40 years, and need something to intrigue me. /Torbjörn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip! That sounds like it's right up my alley. ICM has a firetruck from Chernobyl, now you've gotten me really interested in that kit. /Torbjörn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the whole derelict thing though, judging by the great job you've done here you could make a very cool set... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
