Oh, I see a printed barrell. Will this be another GuP project or do you plan to make a historic BT-42?

Motatim Stanislaw
Thanks. I'm going to do it for GuP, but I don't even have decals for it yet😬. So, the end result will not be soon.

Nice work on the roadwheels. 👍 Did you manage to get the decals in the meantime? A while ago I could find an abundance of them on eBay for example but now it seems much harder to get GuP or Ace Combat decals.

Motatim Stanislaw
Thank you, Robin. The decals arrived almost in the middle of this month. I ordered decals from AliExpress, they are designed for 5 schools. I'm going to update the album for you to see. If you want to order, then I will send you a link to them in the PM, but it is not a fact that it will work for you.

Mona
I found those decals on AliExpress ,without much fuss even without the link, Thank you 👍 for the info Motatim

Thank you again)

Mr James
Lovely rusty burnt out work. Looks great

. SDR Piloten Christof Motti, painted him up, and slapped him in, basically just the stock pilot, with the Super Jerry blind cockpit gear, added cables, may have to sand his butt down, as you can't see much of the poor swine, when he's sealed in his walking coffin. That'll do for today.

Nathan Dempsey
Your pilot is looking great. Following 👀

On to the legs of the Jerry Heavy Super Armored Fighting Suit. Now, the newer WAVE release has the shorter foot with cleaner details, but the old NITTO release has the longer but softer detailed foot, as it's a chicken walker essentially, I'm after stability, so I'm going to sacrifice detail for a solid stance.

Ian Doody
Chicken walker Ma.k, I dig it. I really like this design. Mines a super heavy Gigant Floh, armed with anti-air rockets, anti personnel machine gun, and a recoilless rifle. Bad ass.

Ian Doody
That's me done for the day, added seatbelts. And the side bubble windows, built both legs, looking good so far. I'll be building this in the classic white wash and orange camo scheme.

Dash Rendar
Great job so far, looking awesome!

Ian Doody
Added the recoilless rifle as a dry fit mock up of the chin. Looks really nice all glued up, looks really angry with the solid hood, but you can see more of the pilot though with the blown glass hood... Hmm 🤔

Ian Doody
That's where I am today, still very much a WIP. I'm working my way around it, adding extra armor, smoke launchers, it's going to be very busy, but it should look pretty awesome.

Ian Doody
I've added radiator details to the underside of the rear engine bay, and an armored cover for the large rear vent.

Ian Doody
That's it for today, getting there. Just a dry fit of parts added drooping wiring to the under engine area, I'll change the mounts of the rockets, to make them more dynamic, cockpit enclosed forever, adding small nuts and bolts, pretty happy with it so far.

Ian Doody
After adding a cast texture to the whole main body, the start of the winter white wash camo on the Gigant Floh. Rust washes next, then grey wash, then white. Still have a fair few details and wiring still to add. Sort out the rocket launchers fit, aerials, armour plates nuts and bolts.

Ben M
I have no idea what this is, but it looks cool.

shadowlight
Nice work! How did you made the cast texture?

Ian Doody
@shadowlight, I used Ammo putty, brushed on and stippled with some sponge.

shadowlight
Thank you!

Ian Doody
First all over dirt, rust and muck wash.

Ian Doody
A lot more detailing, armour plates, and washes to come.

I wish there was some Tu-95KM model around in 1:144. That was the early one with a funky cruise missile attached under the belly (sort of like a simplified jet fighter, but a flying bomb). A book on the subject claimed that the preparation for loading up the nuclear munition was initially around 18 hours iirc, and then later reduced to some 6 hours or so, some time in the late 50's iirc. The KM also had a belly turret at the rear, and a more pronounced radar/sensor dome on the nose.

Don't think I can buy 1:72 models, as they are so very large.
