That looks good. Nice work on the weathering.How did you get the mucky effect on the window.

I did spot that the star on the right door looks a bit lop sided.

I agree with Bish...the weathering is great!  I too would like to know how you did the windows, that really struck my attention.  Great job!

Gentlemen, thanks for your comments, glad you like this one. The mucky appearance is a simple wash with raw umber using a very soft round brush. At some places along the edges I put ground gray chalk in an attempt to get muddy look. But when it dried it didn't look good. Then I remembered somebody mentioning the raw umber wash.

The windows got the same treatment, soft brush, raw umber and dubbed it on the windows. Turned out well.

As far as the lopsided star, what to say...sloppy Russian work Whistling

Looks good, launch rails loaded and ready for the front!  Which kit is that, and more specifically, which truck type?  Are those kit wheels and tires?

Looks to be the Italeri kit, with the kit wheels.  The base truck is the ZIS 151.

Looks great! Nice work on the model and the weathering and grime is perfect!

Looks great man (especially the grimy dirt appearance), I remember building one of these a long time ago....but the Revell kit.  Keep it up.
