You made quick work of that! Good job sir! That little track is packing a LOT of firepower there.

Excellent work on that tough kit. I feel your pain with so many parts constantly falling off. I have several models doing that to me now. Still, your perseverance paid off with a stunning model. I just wish I could get that in 1/72 scale.

That gun/missile combination looks very agressive and cool.

Calling this one done...tracks were no kind of good to work with. Hope all Takom kits aren't like that...although maybe it was because they were so small?

Here we go:

Looks real good! Did the SS-11's really have those pastel blue warheads? It just looks so less intimidating in that color...

But overall it does look pretty badass for a light tank.

Pictures showed varying shades...but then again that might be the lighting. I got as close as I could with what I had on hand going from the Takom color guide.

That's about all you can do is rely on photos. In foreign service I am clueless as to the appearance. I know in US service, the SS-11 was like most every other missile and projectile of the area- OD with yellow markings.
