Hi all
I just finished the so-called ASU-85 mod.1970 by Trumpeter. According to my sources it should be called ASU-85M in the Soviet system or M1974 in the NATO one.

The kit is built with very modifications. I only replaced some PE parts (small tanks straps and mud flaps) by tin and aluminum homemade parts.

It has been painted in XF-67 NATO green and weathered with a dark brown wash, streaking with oil dots and various pigments shades.









More to see at my site.

Thank you Mike and Brian.
Brian the main issue with those kits is the PE parts and the lack of jigs to bend them.
