Thank you mates!
It's a fast project again for a Facebook Group build event Vörös Június ( Red June) between 12.6 and 12.7. The main rule: build a Soviet or Russian manufactured vehicle/pláne. So I decided to build this little excavator...

Thank you mates for your interest!
Meanwhile I attached some lead wires as "hydraulic tubes" there are still some pieces to glue and I can start with the most interesting part: the painting

Looks extremely nice and full of details. I'm looking forward to the end result.

Thank you Shar. I hope I can paint it and do the base chipping today. 🙂

The little excavator got his colors. Now he is waiting to be chipped...

Yeah, that's the way it is suppose to look. The only slight issue I have are the hydraulic hoses. They look a bit too kinky. Being made frome rubber I would expect them to have a smoother routing. Probably something that can still be fixed.

Thank you Michael for your remark. After checking the reference photos I realized that the hydraulic tubes are shorter than I made, so I'll replace them! Maybe I'll replace them with coper wire instead of lead wires so they won't be so kinky.

For my D9 build I used silicone tubes. They route nicely but attract dust like anything. So copper wire would be my choice too.

"Hydraulic tubes" are removed. 😉
I painted additional dirt and grime effects with oilpaints.

Amazing work, love the weathering all around! Also very finely produced model kit, lot to clean up?

Thank you Edgars! It's still ca. 90% completed.
The kit 3D printed so the casted resin parts had some visible layering but not that bad, so I could remove them with some sanding. The casting qualiti is perfect, there was almost nothing to clean. Fitting the parts was also without any problems.

The building phase is done. Weathering process is also completed. Now I have to complete the base and the figure.

Congratulations Zsolt. I assume that award means something a lot more impressive than 'OK level'. It's certainly a vast amount better than just 'OK'. 😉

All the prices have a bigger volume than the model itself 😉
Congratulation for each and all of your medals! 👍
