Jeff

I found one that has the dark green base with flat black lines drawn over. Looks interesting and different. Also like the grass green/light brown and black como. I want it to be a Czeck vehicle as that is the home country.Hmm

Have ya chosen a color scheme for yours yet?

You cleared something up for me..the jig for the hooks!  I didn't realize it was for the hooks!  It looked like an ammo can.

Except for the Drivers cab there is no detail. Probably in the works from Eduard or someone else.Idea

The kit so far seems to go/fit together rather well with few problems so far. I am building mine using what few pictures are available on the web of the cab interior. Although the instructions call  for a flat white interior, the pictures I have seen so far show a colour much like the Soviet interior white seen in the past( a dirty brownish tinge to the white).  They probably use diesel or gas as a thinner for the paint before applying. Huh?

They even include a small jig for bending small PE hooks. I glued mine together and have had no problem with the bends so far, except as you can only do one at a time when it made with grooves/holes for four.Hmm

 So far, a decent kit of an obscure vehicle. I would rate it a 89% out of 100.  I only hope I can do it justice on the paint job.Embarrassed

Been wondering about this kit, as reviews seem to be scarce.

Its a great build, button up the boring interior..its a nice kit.  I've added some details over on the group builds....spg/ arty.

I also found something on mine...the side stabilizers were different lenghts . after gluing them down, one side looked half extended!!!!  Guess it would be ok in a dio?

Well I started on this kit this week and so far I have found only one problem with the instructions. Hmm

I have no pictures to show but in step 10 when you are assembling the wheels ( parts A23 with A 21 <Sub-assembly C-C> and A22 with A 21 <sub- assembly D-D>) for the rear suspension, part A23 needs to be switched with A22 in order for the brake arm (Parts A18) assembly to match up.Geeked

Other than this mis-step, the model looks pretty good so far. I hope to be able to submit pictures in the future.YesWhistling
