Started this pretty nice kit a few days ago, full crew compartment and quite some PE included. On the downside there is some cutting and sanding to do, esp. if you want to use all of the PE.
The so called "Kovriki armor" isn´t that hard to do, it just takes some time to figure measurements and angles out (esp. the first plate is a nightmare). I´ve used 0,5mm sheet and sharpened the edges, all glued on small pices of plastic to create the gap.
The black dots indicate where all the nuts have to go... about 80 in total.

Hi Fabian. Cutting and sanding are both joys of our hobby... I Look forward for the next photos...
