Figured this was the best place to post this build as they are basically rockets. Anyways, I started on this old Monogram kit a few weeks ago just as a quick little build in between painting on a few other builds I've got going right now. I don't get a ton of time out here due to work, so it takes me a little while to complete builds, even small ones like this. I like to have something else I'm working on while I'm painting other builds though.
I started off on constructing the missiles, all but one of them being nothing more than 2 halves that are glued together. The SS-18/R-36M SATAN has 4 small engine that need to be added after gluing the two halves together. Everything went together wonderfully.
Next I primed all of the missiles and the base which they will stand on. I didn't take any pics of the primed missiles as they look pretty much the same, except in grey. The base was done in MM Gunship Grey enamel, and the lettering done with Testors acrylic Gloss White. Here's the base before and after the lettering was painted.

Next came a few of the Russian missiles. I started on all of the Russian missiles that would be finished in Olive Drab. Those being the SS-18 SATAN, SS-17, SS-19, SS-20, SS-13 Savage, and the SS-4 Sandal. I got the base of MM Olive Drab on them to start, and then taped off the nose cones on the ones that needed it and painted them. After the nose cones were dried I moved onto the engines, which I did with a coat of Testors Gloss Black followed by a light coat of Testors Flat Steel. Once these were dry I moved onto the Soviet star decals, and this is as far as I have made it as of now. Probably going to start on the rest of the Russian missiles today.
Will post more updates as I move along. Thanks for looking everyone!
