Bob,good to see you decided to put this on the back of the Maz .Like Dicky,I had read of issues with the missiles,but the vehicle itself was a good one.If memory serves,Andy Claesens over on MM sorted the missiles,so it may be worth a search,just in case you feel you need to use the missiles .It was one of his 'Parade of shame'

[M1Carbine]

Chris - I thought I saw this in his parade of shame......LOL

Bob,Andy is a bit of an expert on the Russki armour,so his should be good for refs!!!

[M1Carbine]

Mr Cleasons is without a doubt the ruskie expert, his input is extreamly valuable.

If you're looking for awesome SA-6 stuff, go here:

It's Hungarian Aero Decal who does a TON of super-sweet Hungarian markings, but have also branched out into Eastern European armor as well, to include a bunch of aftermarket for the SA-6. They've been trying to find a US distributor, but haven't had any luck so far (last I talked to them).

[dupes]

BTW - in the upper left of their home page there is a teeny British flag - click on that for the English version of the site.

Good looking decals and the instructions with the pics look are nice touch .

Thanks Dupes .

[deafpanzer]

Take it easy buddy! I would drop dead if I had to work for more than five days in a row... looking forward to your update.

[M1Carbine]

Prof - thanks mate

Dave - brother you need to get up here, I need BOOZE! LOL

Luigi - thank you mio Amico

Gary - LOL, thanks, motel 8 works for me.........LOL

Dupes - thank my friend have checked it out and appreciate it much.

DP - man Im exhausted and still more freaking chaos at work. There seems to be no end in site right now till we get some good people hired.

So pretty much my routine as of late has been come home, attach a part or two, hit the sack, get up, repeat, go to work and come home and start the process over. I finally had time today to post up the pics I took this morning.

Most of the tub and upper hull are completed.













I have left some items off that need to be painted separately. Im working on the tracks now and launcher unit. I will have some pics up soon gents.

The only thing keeping my sanity is while there is a lull at work I log on here and get some sort of interaction and enjoyment.
