Morning Ross from a wet Lincolnshire.
There's some great detail on the kit , top photo from Fridays post for example
Do you remove any paint or mask where you mention about paint then add futher parts ?
It's looking good, I've been looking at a large Russian field gun and thinking should I , or could I. :smirk:
Keep it coming .

Are you sure silver is the right colour for the transmission? It seems an unlikely colour if the rest of the interior is olive drab.

Evening from a hot New South Wales John, I tend to try and glue as much as I can before painting, sometimes I remove paint, sometimes I will mask where other bits are supposed to go. Only if I can't paint it on the vehicle do I paint on the sprue or separate, like the fire extinguishes in the fourth photo, I think you should give your big gun a try, they can be fun, do you remember this?



It was difficult and it didn't help that I dropped it twice but it turned out ok and it was a fun build, apart from the terrible Dragon instructions.

Jakko, no, it's steel and it won't be staying that colour.

cheers

Hi Ross
That's coming together well. Detail on the gun looks nice. It is often hard to decide whether to paint parts before fixing them. I like to get as much built as possible before painting.

Nice update Ross. Its always a challenge to build and paint, build and paint. All heading in the right direction. Is it starting to cool down a bit over there now??

[RM6239]

Jim, I'm the same, if I can glue it before painting I will.

Steve, it certainly slows things down a bit, it did start to cool off but we've had a week of over 35 again, two weeks into Autumn it should be starting to cool off, North Queensland keeps getting battered by Cyclones and flooded and we can't seem to get any rain.

Still working on the internal areas.





Front and sides are currently drying from a gloss coat before some weathering and I'll make a start on the tracks tonight.

cheers
Ross

Very clean build so far. Great job on trans. I hope the rear stowage boxes are not cemented as they are on backwards. The tops should be level. Looks like only HE stowed? No WP or AP rounds? PaulE

Ross, Great job so far will continue to follow this build, very interesting . Rick H.
