Meng 1/35 Shilka ~ "The Russian sewing machine in Syria"

[Steve Brodie]

Finally finished the Meng 1/35 Shilka, brilliant little kit, only addition were the Masterclub resin tracks, because i couldn't be bothered wasting all that time clipping the Meng tracks from the sprues. Painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with Lifecolor liquid dust pigments, and Vallejo dust pigments. Will be building a suitable diorama base for the tank. Build can be seen here - http://www.scale-models.co.uk/thread...-shilka.27602/

Wow!! Nice one!!
Maybe you must clean it, isn’t it?? It has a lot of dust!! It seems a tank that has been running through the desert
