    MENG 1/35 GCT 155mm Auf1 '' During the IFOR mission ''

    Good day to you guys. Hope you all having a nice sunny, summer days. Weather here in London is crap though.

    Anyway,I just finished another Kit. It's the GCT 155mm AUF1 from MENG. I'm not going to put in here how is the kit as a lot of review has already covered that when it came out. However, if you are building this, glue the infernal suspension (unless you want to put this on a diorama) and invest in another track set ( either metal tracks or other plastic offering).

    For colour, I bought some AMMO paint to test it out.

    The interior is painted using Tamiya light blue and Vallejo ModelColour White. Tamiya light blue has a very strong blue tone ModelColour white was use to bring it down. The chipping inside and outside are done with AMMO chipping colour.

    Since I knew this was going to be a hard edge, I bought the pre made masks from J's model works.

    Wanting to show a used up vehicle, I opted to use the IFOR decals from the kit and put on the '' Mont Igman 1995 '' decals to depict a vehicle used in the IFOR mission. As such, I decided to go heavy on the chippings, mud and dusts and throw some busy stowage on the little rack at the back.

    Well, that's about as much I can sum up about the build. More informations and more photos ( many more) 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.

    Until the next launch .

                    That's a lovely build Gary, and I for one am not going to mention that it's got a very big gun.... damn!

                    So Hackney didn't see the sun today? It was lovely in Richmond upon Thames!

                    Cheers

                        Exactly Ian ... and the MENG kits ... I am not exactly a fan of it ... I am giving this particular kit the benefit of the doubt that this is a earlier release and the plastic quality is a little bad because of it. BUT, it is very over engineered... way over engineered.

                        Hackney/Haggerston/Islington/Dalston ( My flat is like on the border of these fours ) still hasn't seen enough sun... and I'm on the 7th floor so it's cold from the freaking wind... ugh ..

                        anyway ... thank you for the kind comment ..
