My last 4 "modern Russian" kits. All 4 are from ACE on a 1/72 scale

 

We start with BREM-2, a recovery vehicle based on the BMP family.

The box

Content. As mentioned earlier, these are short run kits. Special but with some extra work...

I've have this kit for years.

One of the reasons I never started it, a lot of cleaning up to do

And the first pieces don't cooperate from the start. But, with time and patience, a model will eventually emerge

Building the chassis

 

The base: the bottom and 2 sides was a challenge20231130_193755.thumb.jpg.29ff2eb6671db388bd4b1c852448a93d.jpg

The next parts even more. (That's why it stayed in the box on the shelf for so long....)

With time and patience ;). There is a chassis.

Because applying the wheels and tracks is a delicate job, this is being done now.
Step by step and partially painted.

Next, 3 armoured cars.  The idea is to build them in a series

Unlike previous models, sharply cast parts

Thanks 

The BTR'S are better cast than Ace's older models.But still sometimes a mess and a puzzle to assemble ...

Update,

 

BTR70  only needs decals and final wheatering

Nona mortar carrier : almost ready for painting

BTR R3K  : chassis ready (after some struggles... ;))

BTR70  only needs decals and final wheatering

Nona mortar carrier : painted (Strange camouflage scheme on a Russian vehicle. Never seen before)

BTR R3K  : The instructions to build the turret are the most unclear ever in 38 years of building at 1/72 :Whew:(at this moment the turret is 90% ready)
