Buk 332

Nice crisp details, easy clean-up and halves fit together well on the SP resin wheels.

I'll only be using one dished wheel from the kit, replacing the other road wheels and idlers with the SP versions. You can't use the kit poly caps with the SP wheels, but it's not like it will be moving around anyway!

The kit goes together easily, and I like the details like the "functional" torsion bars.

PE anti-skid plates on. Much better than the little bumps on the kit parts.

Hull complete, on to the launcher assembly.

The tracks go together easily with the jig. They still CAN pop apart with enough pressure (whoops,) but they hold better than the Trumpeter click-togethers that I used before.

Slapped some scrap wood together for a base.

Not the best job, but most of the earth won’t be that visible when finished.

Checking the layout, the “wheat” is going to need to be a little shorter I think.

Nearing the finish line, just a couple of little things to add.

Time to put this on the shelf. I really need better lighting/ photography, 'cause my pictures don't do it justice.

Bumping this so what happened 10 years ago today (MH17) is not forgotten.

Another crime that We know well who were the criminals, and sent by whom, and We will not forget.
They were allready the ones who provoked the problems that arose before in the Donbas.
There they dressed in black like the Nazis, later in Crimea dressed green like frogs.
We know & will not forget.
