Cor, that’s a mini beast and that’s no error! You’re doing a grand job on this David.

You know me and tracks David , think it's a mental thing, deciding that I can't do them even before I start.
I love these kits from Eastern Europe, normally cheap and with a good many problems but they produce kits the mainstay of producers don't want too .
Looking at what you achieved you should be well pleased .

Yeh nothing unexpected made these little kits for long enough now to except their short comings before the bits are even tipped out the box this one was pretty good but in the words of Simon T there was some fettleing involved. Unless I've missed it you haven't mentioned how you got on with the perfect plastic putty so grabbed some my self its what I've used on the kit couldn't recommend it enough good stuff adheres and sands brilliant only complaint is with the tube unscrew cap its a bit like a out of controll toothpaste tube a bit wasteful. Loving the groupe build havent done one since Simons. Dave

Dave, it still amazes me how you can build these tiny things and do such a great job. The Su-76 is one of my favorite Rooskie Bummskie things. Still trying to find one in 1/35 from Alan at a cheap price too. One of these in 1/35 would be nice too as 1/72 is too tiny for my old peepers...........

I know MiniArt do some Su- stuff quite old now so you might grab a bargain somewhere. Dave

Sincere Condolences David; as you say personal loss is a sad concomitant of growing older, doesn't make it any easier to bear though I know.
