First side of tracks done. Was a little difficult but the gimmick provided by Zvesda is quite helpful.

Building operation almost completed. I enjoyed it so far.

Aber den Tag vor den Abend nicht lauben...

Niet de huid verkopen voordat de beer geschoten is

Tini Hendriks
Massive machine!

Olivier
Tini, we say the same in French. Very old saying probably.

Olivier, I want to see the completed model until first of May. Das ist ein Befehl.

Olivier
Aye aye Sir

Neuling
👍

Tini Hendriks
Befehl ist Befehl

Olivier
Alles klar Herr Kommissar

Olivier
Building is moving slowly forward.

Tini Hendriks
The max speed is 48 km/h ?

Tini Hendriks
That's the way to get around during a lockdown ????

Olivier
Well, we are not really in lockdown. More a curfew....

Mark K
Lovely!

Olivier
Now on to find a solution for the unbalanced cannon...

And then cementing the hull.

And finding a driver and a commander figures...

Olivier
Counterweight installed.

Tini Hendriks
Fire in the hole??

Olivier
Ok so most of construction and base painting is done.

What should be the next step ? Gloss coating then wash and pigments I guess.

Any suggestions ?

Tini Hendriks
Didn't the Sovjets had decals?

Olivier
Indeed they had. In principle I should go for the Uzbekistan version provided in the box.
