A little closer, only to finish painting the red on the tail light and paint and install the gun.

I didn't like the colors I had used so basically repainted everything. I muted the green on the body and black on the tires.

Things left are the exhaust, machine gun and weathering.

Dusting this one off again. Where it stands now. Wow from 4 years ago.

I don't recall what I couldn't figure out that stopped the project for all these years. Hope to paint some more small parts, final assemble and weathering to finish this up.

Nice bit of scratchbuilding

A little update.

I didn't like the left strap on the fuel tank and removed some, still not great but no more messing with it.

Built the map holders and door locks/handle.

Added a gas and brake petal.

Only a few parts left on the sprue: steering wheel, two cargo hooks, tools and mg. After the paint barn, I will add the fuel line before putting together the top and bottom section.

I saw Bill's build and for some reason I had to get one. http://modelingmadness.com/review/misc/vehicles/russia/kop64.htm

So the kit has a few issues, one of the biggest is that Fred's feet doesn't power this beast. It's missing the engine, so I robbed one from my Willy's Jeep. I hacked off the jeep transmission case section from the engine and used some styrene to block the bits off. Built an oil pan and blocked off other bits. Next I punched some circles and added them to 64's transfer case. Need to add some putty to smooth things out. Using the jeep parts again, I built a radiator and blocked off the underside to other bits on that part. Finally I built the non existent fuel tank, it's not great but I think it will do. It is all black and with a green floor and white sides it will stand out when you look down from the top of the turret as it sit to the rear of the 64.
