The handrails take some fiddling with. It seems to me that it is simply impossible to work with such thin and fragile parts without perpendicular cut pliers. This was recently clearly proven by Uncle-Heavy. I have already tested this on a model of a double-decker bus from Miniart.
Good question! This is my first naval-themed product, so I don’t have an answer to this question. Moreover, I am now like that centipede who was asked how she walks and she can’t walk anymore. The manufacturer recommends A.MIG-0208 FS-36320 Dark Compass Ghost Gray or A.MIG-0204 FS-36118 Medium Gunship Gray paints. I was going to paint it with some light gray color that I have. Moreover, there are corresponding samples.
The color in the photo could be considered strangely faded, especially since the color of the rocket is “wrong”, but the other colors (white, red, etc.) in this photo look normal. I have other samples from my photographs - I will look at them.
Wasn’t sure if that was on my end of viewing as it appeared a strange color, hence the question. Thanks for the information. A light gray color in the Tamiya line is what I was looking to use. I had not picked what missile or color I was going to paint my build. Need to finish some more projects before going back to that one.
The brown one is a Pleven horse, while the black one is a East Bulgarian horse- these 2 breeds were essential for my country’s army in the first half of the XX century.
Those were my first 2 horses to paint(and I have plenty of resin horses waiting) and I even managed to paint their eyes, thus extremely happy
Added neoprene material to the striking points after the added graphite to the metal rods. This is to dampen the violence and plastic clack noise as well.
Got the legs onto the base of the ZPU-1. If you look at the picture, you will notice a lot of the parts on the top are no longer there. They all got knocked off putting the legs on. Grrr.
