su-85 1/72 um models oob
Posted by bsyamato on Saturday, March 5, 2011 6:46 PM

hi there

this is my first post on this section,

Mainly i build airplane.

till now i've built only two tanks in 1/72 and a m-47 in 1/35

last year i brought and finished two tanks in 1/72 (this su-85 and js2) and have in the box a jagdphanter from italeri (esci mold reboxed), that in future post with the work in progress

then i wish some critics on the su-85 founded between offers of my internet hobby store.

Really nice kit with two photo etched parts. Only a disappointment on the wheels ,the black part are in rubber material.

Heres the pictures:

the fender attachment points are a bit sloppy...and those road wheels are horrid! (not your fault.) I'd freeze them, and then sand the crap out of them to get rid of the seam. Flat-coat them, and they'll look much better. IT also needs some weathering, there's a lot  of detail there screaming for a wash. Otherwise, nice clean build! It could be improved, but once you build some more armor, you'll get the hang of it. Good work! Yes

Hi Boba Fett

One or two layer of flat coat already done but seems that on wheels not worked, they needed a lot of work to try remove the middle seams.

I'l try somethins different on the jagdphanter (unfortunately the inside part of tracks are totally flat).

The kit now are stored but here a picure of work done:
