ZSU 23-4 Dragon 1/35

Post by belfer »

Hi Everyone
I've been working on it for two weeks. Old Dragon, needing "some" work. So far, I've put it together, put a primer on it and pre-shaded it.
Regards

Looks a lovely job thus far. Be very interesting to see how it looks finished.
I have the Zvezda offering of this beast to do next. So it will also be interesting to see how they compare in build and finish. :) :)

    I have this kit too. It's been sitting in the stash for a long long time. I hope when I build it that mine will even come close to looking as good as yours. What was the "some work" that you were referring to?

    Lookin good!

    I meant a lot of putty, removal of elements for photo-etched element's. Each track link has a trail of an "ejector" (I think it is called).
