Interested to see how this will turn out. Doesn't look a great kit.

Villiers de Vos
The kit shows its age. I hope, with a bit of work will turnout alright.

Interesting pick for a 10 day challenge. But I guess it wouldn't be a challenge without a challenging kit. Best of luck.

Mike Volkov
Thank you Clement! I hope for the best 😅

KP kit in 10 days? Taking a seat 😄

Mike Volkov
Day 3/10: lot of filling and sanding.... 😥

Alec K
Hopefully the worse is behind you. Nice progress 👍

Mike Volkov
I hope so too. 😄
Day 4/10: KP has given me a lot of fantastic sanding opportunities, but I'm finally getting to the priming. But it still needs a lot of fixing before I can start painting it.

Clement
"Sanding opportunities" is a nice way of putting it 😄
So far so good, looks like you have a good chance of pulling this off.

Cuajete
Well done so far! 👍

Mike Volkov
Day 5/10: Repairs after priming and some panel rescribing. Wheels and landing gear finished.

Mike Volkov
Day 6/10: Starting the paintjob with colour correction. The colour of the gear bay is grey and not bluish grey, and the wheel rim is typical Russian green and not grey. So I had to repaint a few things today. I use Ammo masking putty to temporarily hold small parts like this.

Cuajete
Good progress, Mike 👍

Mike Volkov
Thank you, Cuajete! 😊

Day 7/10: One of the top camouflage colours is Mr. Hobby H307. The other colour suggested by KP is H305, which is too grey. So I mixed in several blues, green, red and white. I can't post the proportions, but it's pretty close to the Pakistani bluish grey.

Mike Volkov
Day 8/10: The project is drawing to a close. After oil painting I prepare it for decals.

Alec K
Excellent results and tempo. Close to the finish line now 👍

Cuajete
Color scheme looks great 👍

Ben M
"Sanding opportunities" is my new favorite term

10 Day challenge, that's really a great idea!
Will certainly give it a go at some point.👍🏻

Mike Volkov
I have been organising a ten-day challenge with some friends for years. The goal is to get the kit on the shelf into the display case in 10 days.
Every year we give a subject:
2021: Third Reich military vehicles
2022: "British days" (civilian or military vehicles made or used by the UK), any scale
2023: 'Green days' (any civilian or military vehicle dominated by the colour green), any scale
2024: object of your choice, 1:72 scale only

This year 15 friends entered the event and 11 models were completed.

Mike Volkov
Day 9/10: After varnishing, the decals are applied and the panel lines are washed.
Unfortunately KP decals are not the nicest and are very vulnerable. One of them is broken.

Interesting yearly challenge friendship, Mike 👍
You are doing a great job in just 10 days with a KP kit.
You only have 1 day left. Cheer up!
