A tiny contribution: An Soviet FAI armored car in 1/72
Posted by bultenibo on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 10:05 AM

I 'm still sticking to my newly found interest in small scale vehicles. The kit is a resin kit from AER, an ukrainian or moldavian company. The quality was actually quite acceptable. Vallejo acrylics, artist oil washes and MIG pigments was used. The hardest part was to carve out the headlights, paint the inside with silver and cover it with Gloss Varnish (Humbrol), but I think it turned out ok.

And doog: No critters were harmed during the weathering process. Wink [;)]

What an interesting build!

It looks like it has jumped straight out of the 20's Thumbs Up [tup]

I also echo the praise over the headlights. Very well done.

cheers
