MattReally like your build here. Very nice!
How was this kit to build? I have not built a Zvezda kit yet and I am hesitant to get into one if they have a lot of fit problems.

Michael KohlVery well done. Just the amount of weatthering one would expect on such a truck.

Mr JamesVery well done. The rear view mirrors are excellent. Nice weathering too. Lovely work

Michael KohlBeautiful. But I think, that in this surrounding some more dust on wheels and chassis wouldn´t be completely out of place.

Jean-François LacosteDepends on pictures... adding dust on the sand is not so easy for me has I don't master technic yet. But advises are welcome 😉

Michael KohlI like to apply some pigment liberally onto areas where I want to have them and work them into the surface with a stuff brush or simply my fingers. You can repeat that until the desired effect is reached. At the wheels I would wipe some of the pigments off again from the top parts of the tires profile. You can fix the pigments with pigment fixer too.
Maybe that helps.
Here you see a nice example of what I mean.

Michael KohlJust to prevent misunderstandings: you build is very well done and I just pointed at a detail. Cheers.

Thomas KolbThank you Robert! The three-bladed standard propellers in the kit are actually fine, it is the transparencies I am a bit worried about.

Michael KohlLooking cool so far. Very convincing material mix (heat resistant fabric at the exhaust, suspension and so on...). And not clean. 🙂
PS: left front wheel still has a bit of a seam visible.

Dave BeenakI am a big fan of Zvezda trucks. Such an awesome base to create such a showpiece....as Neuling says, a masterpiece. I have this kit on order. Is there a thread somewhere so we can see how all this detail was achieved?

J35JThanks Gorby! This is my second vacu kit build and this time it feels a little bit more straight forward…
My experience so far with vacu kits is that you have to spend a good amount of time on fitting, sanding and putty work to get a nice base for paint and finishing. Also spending quite some time reviewing old photos to get a good picture of the details. This as there is a fair amount of scratch work to get a decent build.
25 July, 11:25
Robert PodkońskiYou're a brave man, indeed! I will follow this thread with pleasure, for sure.
25 July, 12:55
Mr DNice, Nice 👍👍, lalways wanted to see a vacform build, Do you have to make up other parts to add on ??
Thanks for upload 😃👍
27 July, 19:59
J35JThanks Mr D for your comments.
There will certainly be scratch build involved, mainly regarding the details as it looks for now. Otherwise I will raid my spare part stash first in order to save time and frustration.
If you are intrested in vac kits you can also have a look at my first vac kit:

Mr DThanks 👍👍 great, will do , l have an intest...as l enjoy making parts, lve had to do it few times, when parts lost or broken or details missed of kit...even canopy once 🤣.
Will check out the XP-67

J35J@Mr D - yes you will need some good scissors as a start😅, for the fine tuning of the parts I normally use saw razor blades and sanding paper of variuos grits. Regarding glue I use "normal" Tamyia Extra Thin, the vacu kit plastic is often quite soft and melts easily.

J35J@Skyhiker - Happy to hear that your following with great intrest. Usually the building pace goes down during the sommer period as I have been reminded that we have a garden that also need some TLC…😂
Nevertheless, yes there is planning and ordning of parts going on behind the scenes. Cockpit need to be done, rescribing the full kit, alignment of wheels as the mold was totally off-set. Drill out all machine guns for after market parts etc.
The main work will be to prepare the plane for NMF look also including some aluminum dope areas. Will try AK's metal paints this time. Stay tuned!

Łukasz GlińskiLuckily the old Russian saying applies to Sweden too - "we have only 10 months of winter, but all the rest is summer!" 😄

J35JMr D - regarding reference photos and material, did research some photos and blue prints on-line. In addition I have also checked out some ref builds both in 1/72 & 1/48 for further input on details.
Yes, the PE venting turned out good. Next step is to paint the cockpit and glue the airframe together
