(I want to start by saying that we should keep our hobbies separate from politics. I don't support any country's war. I have a lot of ICM and miniart kits.) This was very affordable. And the quality of the plastic casting is very good. The instructions are very clear and the parts fit together well.

More color for engine. Would you like to see WIP?

Very precise work again. Admirable work.🧐

Kamaz engine got some paint.

Weathering looks nice👍

Working on Kamaz truck. This has to be the most detailed engine I've seen in 1/35 scale😵. And here we don't even have all the pieces in place yet.😃

I'm trying to invest in better metallic colors for my next modern car builds. You're also right about the scale. It's different to paint 1/12 than 1/35 scale. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice details.🧐

Hi. Thanks Rob. I agree. This was a very fun build. Especially trying to create different metal tones. I used different techniques for these paints, markers and wax based products. The frame in particular could have been done better. I had to handle it a lot during the construction stages and some of it somehow wore off or lost its shine. I don't know if this is exactly what you meant, where there is room for improvement. Can you comment further so I can improve in the future? I'll probably make a tank or an all-terrain vehicle next. After this I'll go back to doing it again "highly polished bikes and cars"😃 I need to get more colors and markers for these.

Finished this build.

Very nice build. No major problems. The exhaust pipes are a bit tricky to align correctly. I learned a lot more things again. My first motorcycle build. But definitely not my last.👍

Excellent build. Thanks for sharing this.👍🏆

interesting. Must try out.

Decal sheet nightmare. Lots of contours. I somehow got them on. But there was a lot of room for improvement. I ordered the "decal set strong". Maybe it will help me to do better in the next piece. One reason I haven't built car or motorcycle models is the amount of decal sheet maddness. I'm trying to improve. But maybe I'm too critical of myself. However, this was my first attempt.

Great👍. It must have been a challenging but rewarding project.

it's hilarious😁 Very old (1902–1984)workman's tobacco "työmies" and Finnish national drink "koskekorva" liquor😂.

A bit of progress. Next front forks.

I don't know if you've ever put these together? But that's exactly how I felt when I put the exhaust pipes together. Everything had to be in line at the same time. 😄

Yes. I know. I don't have the tools or the colors to create different color nuances right now. That would be a nice addition, but some compromises have to be made.
