9P129 Tochka SS-21 Scarab Retrokit 1/72 - final

Work in progress photo  are here.

1/76 Albion A-10 British lorry by CONVOY - WIP part 1

Very old and rare resin model. The quality same to all models of this company. Not very good. I assembled the basic kit details first. To compare with the photos and understand the scale of the "tragedy". I found the frame shorter than necessary. All small parts are greatly simplified. All of it needed to change to new ones. I disassembled the model and decided to improve it as much as possible. There are casting defects. For example the side grilles on the hood are spoiled. I made new foil: I lengthened the frame.   and made new plastic front bumper mounts. I think the most interesting parts on this truck is the chain wheel drive. The resin detail of this mechanism is very simplified. So I made a new one. From 11 parts  Compare what I did with photo of real one. Of course my work is not perfect , but better than it was.

9P129 Tochka SS-21 Scarab Retrokit 1/72 - work in progress

Old Retrokit resin model (now releasing by Wespe under Retrokit license). Model had very many casting deffects. So need to use a lot of putty. Used ARMORY wheels and scratch built parts (all not green colour parts). Старый набор от Retrokit (ныне выпускается Wespe). Набор имел большое количество дефектов литья. Что потребовало большого количества шпаклевки и замены некоторых дефектных деталей на самодельные. Использованы колеса фирмы ARMORY (на другую модель, но очень близкие по рисунку и диаметру). Вся мелочевка самодельная (родные только смоляные детали зеленого цвета). To be continued...
