I finally got on the scoreboard before years end.This is the 1/35 Trumpeter kit.It was pretty straightforward although there were some errors in the instructions for the suspension.Didn't want to do a build log,just wanted to get started again.So here are a few pics from my phone.

You pretty much nailed the look, especially the dust.

I was a combat Med teck back in the mid 90's and I operated with these and other SANDF armour on Army Battle School Lohatla when we did large mech infantry exersizes.

Well done looks good

very nice. i do a lot of warwheels including modern military trucks. some suspensions are fairly easy because everything is internal. others, like the Russian 130mm coastal defense gun represent about 40% of the build.

Pretty good Russ,just that the instructions for the suspension mislabeled some parts,bad to be careful,otherwise mo problems.
