That really looks very nice. Well done.

[Momcha]

Thank you for comments

I started Ya-12 from MiniArt in 1/35 scale. Great model to build. I didnt spent too much time on lower parts. Few images of cabin in this stage of building. You can see how it looks like.
Update soon

It's interesting to see how, in many ways, the Russians were like the Germans in terms of adapting existing hull/chassis designs to different purposes. Seing the light tank chassis used as a tractor makes perfect sense given the terrain/environment of the Eastern Front. Looking forward to seeing this one get combined together!

[joelsmith]

The weathering is magnificent! I'm just not sure why a A/T gun would have ranging poles. Other than that minor question, I'm just waiting to see the finished diorama. Talk soon, Joel.

[eastrock]

That's a lot of work on the lower part, Momcha details looks great

[bullardino]

Great job, I'm building the same kit but a slower pace (or, better, at snail pace).

Most parts are dry fit, am I wrong?

[Deleted]

Just caught up on your build ER, camo is fantastic looking forward to seeing her all finished up

The tractor things not bad either BTW

[Momcha]

Thank you guys for following

@ wbill76 : You are right, there are too many same designs on both sides. Spies were doing their job great

@ joelsmith: This A.T. gun was also used without chassis, as an ordinary field gun. That's why I had idea for ranging poles.

@ eastrock, bullardino: This model is great, it has so many details that can scare you when you open the box for first time and see instructions but it's assemble very easily, like Lego ;D
Parts fit perfectly.

@ stevem: thaks for following m8.


Ok, cargo space is finished. I`m not sure will I leave it like it`s on the pictures or should I put canvas, it depends on figures that I'm going to use. Lower part is painted in field green. I started with engine painting. Update soon

[eastrock]

looking out great, Momcha great details

[bbd468]

Sweet build man! Looks great!!

Gary

[bullardino]

Very nice build

I'm enjoying the build of the Ya-12 too, it's a sweet little kit that needs only some attention due to the softness of the styrene.

You're going light speed, what colour will you paint the engine?

[wbill76]

Nice work on the engine painting and chassis, looking good!

[TRM]

Looking like a beauty Momcha!!

[Momcha]

Thanks so much you guys.

@ bullardino: I used Vallejo luftwaffe uniform mixed with white and oily steel. Later chipping is made with german grey. I will use AK washes for finalisation of engine but it will not be visible when I finish this model. I dont have in plan to make it open

Model is painted with Tamiya NATO green, (C.M. made by adding few drops of yellow). Here are few pictures how it look with canvas and without it. I have to admit that both looks are very interesting and it will be hard to choose which one will be final.
Little accident happened during photo session, I broke p.e. part on right fender, but nothing serious.

[bbrowniii]

WOW! That is one FUNKY looking vehicle. I love your camo job. Awesome work!

EDIT: Holy cow, how'd I miss two whole pages of this thing? Stand by, more to come!!! ;D
