Thank you. I'm not sure yet, but my first idea was to use both of them.

Nice work on this one, I've got the same two kits and am going to display them on a dio. I've only started my chassis though, I haven't touched the missiles yet.

Thank you Cortex and Bart.
I tried to do something different with preshading. Result can be seen on last two photos where missiles were painted with base colors.

Also I think I read somewhere that it is advisable to add a bit of weight near in the engine bay to counter act the trailers weight sitting on the turn table.

Can you please edit caption on wheels pictures and add more info on how you weathered and highlighted them ? Thanks

Thank you Eric, James, Michael and Bart.
Michael - I didn't knew about the counterweight 🙁 and now truck is almost ready. I will have to find out how it will behave with trailer and missile attached.
Cortex - I tried to include some more info under the mentioned pictures but there is a char limit so I will explain it here. Painting wheels by me 😉 Tires were painted with XF-85 Rubber Black and then drybrushed with XF-19 Sky Grey. Somethimes 2 or 3 times. Wheel rims where first painted with XF-1 Flat Black, then highlighted with XF-19 Sky Grey and finally with XF-2 Flat white to archive a light/shadow look. After this they were painted with very diluted base color with few layers, just to build up a color. When paint is still wet but almost dry I'm doing some scratches with wooden stick (small 3mm diameter) just to remove top layers of paint. it have to been done very gently but in case you do too strong marks just paint it with the same diluted color.
Hope it helps. 😉

Thank you Michael. I plan to finish it till end of September.

Bart - no, rather no. At first I planned to build dio where missile are transported from trailer to launcher but now I change my mind so I will probably include two missiles.

Cortex - I want to finish my SCUD model and then set up a small studio to take final pictures of Cougar HEV, SA-2 and SCUD. As soon as I will have them I will surely post them here. Sorry for inconvenience. If you wish I can take some quick photos with my phone and post them.
James - Thank you again. As for colors I used few of them. First I preshade with white, grey and black and this some spots with brown. And final colors were painted with Tamiyas Tan, Buff and Desert Yellow. All were very thinned so base color was build with a few mist layers.
