That's indeed a great looking SPG! Did you have any troubles painting those vinyl tires? I tried painting some Trumpeter ones and the paint keeps flaking off

Thank you all.
Dan, no I haven't - usually I soak them overnight in water with soap then rub with soft brush. When they are dry I paint them with XF-86 from Tamiya, 1-2 thin layers. And then I leave them for a couple of days to cure.

Thank you Scott.
I hoped that it's end but as usual photos reveal some things to correct. You can see them on 6 new photos.

Very nice result, Przemek. The trees are a neat addition. You can find my own version at 152mm ShkH DANA vz.77 | Project by StevenVD (1:35)

Thank you Daniel, Spanjaard, Thomas and Bastian.
Now I see that I could add some dust/dirt pigments as it looks too clean 😉
@Steven - nice work on yours Dana, I really like it.

Thanks! One of the things I changed is the surface behind the driver's cabin. That's really different from what Hobbyboss proposes: [img1]. But it's just one of a few things, it's a great kit to build out of the box.
