Custom Joe scale, Russian/Chinese SA-9r Recon Vehicle
Posted: Fri May 13, 2011 3:33 pm
I built this couple years ago. It's essentially done just needs some detail painting.
It's not based a real vehicle but thought it fit in with Russian or Chinese military. Basically used a chap-mei 6 wheeled APC, styrene, clear plastic for windows and hinges for the front rear hatch.
Cut out the rear section (had the police lights on it) and converted it to carry a support unit (4 figs). The rear section was reconstructed from styrene. Using pieces of original vehicle to add deal on back section. Created a hatch door for the open section of the cab and covered the round opening where the chap-mei figure would fit. Air-brushed it and just need to paint the accessories that are molded to the hull of the vehicle.
The hatches warped a little from sitting in the garage in the summer.
If the image quality is bad I will update the images.
