    HobbyBoss 1/35 ZTZ-99B of the PLA

    Good day to you Gentlemen.

    I have here another kit that I have been working on for quite some time. With every new addition added to the log, this one get push further and further behind along with 2 other kits on the bench.. It was a struggling effort to finish this as I cannot resist the call of the new additions but I pulled through and finished it finally.

    As much as the kit is great, I couldn't resist getting the Voyager Upgrade kits for it. It did help with quite a bit with how the kit looks but there are a lot of stuffs on the upgrade kit that I didn't put on. In hindsight, I do regret spending money to buy the Voyager kit as the kit is great by itself.

    The entire kit was painted with Mr.Hobby Aqueous as it was the most closest and best colours for the PLA vehicles.

    The scheme is obviously the digital camo from the 60th Anniversary Parade but the turret number is my girlfriend's birthday, July 13, as she insisted that from now on, all the vehicle numbers are to be put on in this. I was going to build it absolutely weather free but I didn't like how it looks so I put on small amount of dust effects on the wheels, tracks and lower part of the hull to depict a vehicle that is going back to the garage/base by the end of parade.

    Last time when I built my ZTD-05, I cut my own patterns and it resulted in crooked and uneven lines. So this time, I look around and found pre-made masks from J's Works. I jumped at the chance and bought it ASAP and using it makes me a happier man.

    Well, that's about as much I can sum up about the build. More informations and more photos and bigger ones (4000X3000) can be found on my blog -

    Please do have a look and thank you so much in advance for any feedback you guys may have. C&C are welcomed. Just be gentle... LOL.

    Thank you for always supporting and for the kind words and various encouragements.

    Until the next launch.

            Excellent work Gary! The digital camo is as good as I've seen.

            I have the Bronco version which was going to appear on my workbench soon... I'll put it away for a few months!

                    That is superb, Gary. I'd like to see a few shots from a lower angle to see the weathering you did on the running gear.

                      These schemes are addictive ... I have another one that is waiting to be painted in such scheme. Another chinese vehicle.

                              camo scheme makes it look like its built with legos. I have seen the new "DIGITAL" camo jobs on the modern vehicles and have to admit I hate the way they look. You did a great job and im not knocking your build at all (actually it took balls to paint that scheme) and must have taken forever as well. Good job
