Guys first up soz for not being about for a while Bruv Noel was rather ill so i have been helping him get on the road back to recovery. Along with my other rust projects is this monster i am not going mad on the rust more the start of surface rust. .  DSC05640 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. I have only used normal paints and some AK filters the dust pigments are yet to come most of the dust is thinned Mig Oil Light mud. .Heres the tractor unit there is a massive trailer to boot too. .  DSC05639 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .  DSC05608 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. The trailer and the unit will be a mix match i am making the trailer an old parade job. .  DSC05638 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. Did a bit off the white wall tyre. .  DSC05617 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. I am pleased with the look but theres still loads to do. Rgs Mac |

Well pushing on bit by bit. I have added some crew comfort made by a careing mum back in the soviet union some pading . .  DSC05728 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .It would have been like an air bed sort of thing as miles travelling in one of these things is gonna hurt i still have to weather and add some private effects. .  DSC05726 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. I have started on the fuel tanks now. .  DSC05727 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. Still might add the engine gotta think it over. Rgs Mac |
