This is not a new kit and will probably be known by most people out there. 
It's one of Zvezda's excellent value-for-money models with lots of internal 
detail - though too much of this is hidden once the fuselage is all 
together. I should also say that some obvious detail is missing: if you use 
the engine and open service hatches there is a serious void between the rear 
of the motor and the MG magazine boxes. I just filled this with odd scraps 
and tubes.

My purpose in making this kit was really to use the accompanying figures 
which I'd bought years ago. They're pretty good and, I seem to remember, 
were made by ICM. The table and oil drums came with them. I just added the 
old engine in the corner of the dio and some smaller details. The base is 
wooden scrap. the groundwork glue impregnated tissue covered with genuine 
dirt, painted with acrylic washes.

And this brings me to the second main reason for doing this model. For some 
time I've been trying to replicate sprayed finishes without going to the 
trouble and expense of buying an airbrush. On this model I painted the upper 
surface grey with Tamiya Acrylic by brush. Then I used artists tube acrylic 
for the blue-grey - brushed on with a short-bristelled brush in an almost 
drybrushing manner. Using a circular scrubbing motion this paint went on 
giving a low-contrast, somewhat faded look with something close to feathered 
edges. I won't say it's perfect but I think it looks pretty good. Given a 
good drying time, it can be varnished over as normal. What you can't do, is 
paint tube acrylic directly onto bare plastic.You can add the final 1/3 of 
your text here.

Just delete any of the boxes below you don't need.....it's not important to 
include them.....they are there to give you an idea of the finished article. 
It is best to limit your article to no more than 60 or so photos, so the 
finished webpage won't take too long to open.
