2P16 Launcher w/Missile of 2K6 Luna (FROG-5) (1:35|In progress)
Base coat of Ak bronze green with a bit of Ak dark green added.
There's the best part of a whole days work here, slowly glueing the fiddly little individual links together. Glued together with Tamiya green here's hoping they will be flexible enough. Primer is Ak rust.
188 individual links here.
Lesson learnt here don't CA glue the tracks together. Rather than bieng flexible they remained rigid and kept snapping. This was to prove to be a total nightmare and I ended up glueing in small section sometimes like around the wheels only 2 at a time.
You may notice there's a small wheel missing, currently AWOL it will come home.
More CA glue on here than Tammy thin. Fiddly bits and finding what was flash and what was model it took a full Sunday sesh to put this together.
This shit shows how uneven the tracks are. Thinking of doing another dismantle and adding more links to the left hand side.
Fully dismantled the tracks however struggled to realign the wheels as wanted.
Full finished, struggled with so many aspects of this. Lots of flash on fiddly bits which often meant cut the wrong piece. Used a bottle of cv glue where there was just nothing to adhere too. Tracks took a fortnight they were so fiddly. Big lessons learnt.

Dave SmithRight from the start because of the size of the missile there are a hell of a lot of fiddly components. Really has that 1/72 feel to it and so far half the build time has been spent on hands and knees. Lots of flash and again because of the size it's sometimes hard to a certain flash from model
