Russian BMPT Ramka "Terminator"

This is the ZVEZDA kit, no photo etch, but if you like fidley bits, this is the version for you. I did most of this with a tweezers.

 Meng and Trumpeter put out the same kit but both have 2 sheets of Photoetch. That was why I chose the ZVEZDA version. This was built out of the box, no stowage or antenna were added.
 The tracks were length and link with separate guide horns. That was a real pain.
 I finally got done with the fidleys so that I could freehand airbrush the color patterns. These were glosscoated and then oil washed, dullcoated and again oil washed and dullcoated.
Finaly I very carefully drybrushed on the details.  These came out well over the darker base colors.
The last detail was the groundwork of sculptamold and plaster powder in a Elmer's glue and acrylic brown slush.  This was covered with various grass and woodlands scenic clutter.
