    Meet Olga,

    well lads no teeth or claws but she packs a big cannon,


    I have wonted to do one of these for year,s and I got lucky and got a good one,


    I have never done a trumpet kit before and this just went together like a dream,


    so have the hull,and turret done and start the wheels,


    but oh my the glue gets to you after a few hrs so rest time,


    and anyway the walking dead on in 45 min,s


    So anyway I have named her Olga,I think you should guess why,


    well I hope your liking her so far,


    plus its fun doing some think so different

              It definitely needs a crew Moni, just to show the scale of that enormous turret!

                    As far as I know Moni spray it with an olive rattle can and chuck some mud at it. That's what all the the other armour modellers do!!

                            Hope you go with the rubber band tracks, those sectional/ridged things are just awful. Track sag is very important with this particular vehicle, and there are ways to make the naughty snakes behave.....Jim
