Pawel makes more masters in 6 months than I make kits in a year!
Great work - I may have to get in on this one! |

I don't know why but the SA-8 always appealed to me. Back when DML/Dragon was putting out modern Soviet stuff, there seemed to be a pattern that whatever was in the background of one kit would show up as a kit in the future. I remember seeing the SA-8 on one box cover and waited for it to come out. Sadly, DML decided to stop making Soviet armor. I look forward to seeing this one get built! |

I have always wanted this in 1/35th. I also want to do amphibious Russian transport. Like the K-61. Please keep posted. Where do you find the plans in this scale? I want to scratch build a ZPU-4 on the trailer. Thanks for sharing. John  |

Pawel,
Have you considered smaller items like conversion parts for production? It would be great to see items like T54/55 engine decks, Large hub road wheels, BDD armor, cupolas,etc....?
I'd buy them for sure....... |

I think that modern Russian missiles is hard and will be sold less than German WWII. Quoted Text

I'm really looking forward to seeing this one completed! I've wanted to build a model of the SA-8 for quite a few years now. I survived an attack from one of these back on January 30, 1991, so I have somewhat of a personal interest in these.

Hi Ron, you were in Iraq (?) as a pilot or so? Wow! I can understand your interest of getting a model kit. Pawel, what is the progress of your fine kit? Also I found Cromwell-models´ 1/76 scale version of the kit. http://www.militarymodelling.com/news/article.asp?a=4575 greetings... Soeren |

Yes, but Babaez has written me that they are bad and I correct.  One photo, more for several days.  Thanks for all compliments, Pawel |

Oh, an interior, that´s cool!
Perhaps a later builder of this kit, can include some lighting (radar-screen and so on), to display the machines inside.
Great work Pawel !!!
