armornut Cool build Stik, I find it interesting that the Soviets used so many wheeled vehicles after the Second WW. Wonder what took us so long to roll on rubber vss tracked vehicles.

Survivability & mobility.
Wheeled armored fighting vehicles don't have the cross country capability that tracked vehicles do. You are more confined to roads or trails with limited cross country traverse.
Wheels are susceptible to damage from bullets or artillery fragments.
Wheeled armored fighting vehicles tend to be lighter and less armored than a fully tracked vehicle.
we're modelers it's what we do
I started this kit (barely) several years ago, but sidelined it for some now unremembered reason. I pulled it off the sidelines last summer and got more done, but again sidelined it due to some issues with the wheels. A couple months ago, I pulled this back to the front of the line, knuckled down on this beast, and finally finished it up yesterday. I took photos then, but the lighting was poor and they did not come out well, so I took new ones this morning.
I built this mostly out of box aside from the addition of some stowage and replacement of some broken parts with brass wire. I also replaced the kit tires with some resin AM wheels due taking the kit tires for my Dragon BTR-80 due to the Dragon rubber tires splitting shortly after installation. Painted with Tamiya paints and I tried mixing my own pigment colors using artist pigments.
Thanks for looking. Comments and critiques are welcome.
