Kurganets 25 APC

[Bryan Krueger]

I’ve got the 30mm version in the stash, someone in the “Abrams Squad” mag did a build and the hull had some serious warpage and sink marks but came together nicely with glue and major clampage!

Adam - There is a review on The Modelling News that had the same problem.

[Bryan Krueger]

WoooHooo! Finally making progress on this kit. The base color is AK Real Colors modern Russian Green. I used an oil dot filter to add some variety and a black-green oil wash for the first wash.









Do these twin boxes on the upper corners cover the exhausts?



Does anyone know which one is the fuel fill port?

[Raoul Kunz]

Very nice, once again one of "those" vehicles, you know, the ones that look like late 80s sci-fi?

The filter and oils look really good... in fact it's another of the "Bryan-Builds" that initially looks like extremely well done CG!


Best regards

Really nice paint job so far. And sorry, I can't answer any of your questions

[Bryan Krueger]

Thanks Oliver and Raoul.

I've started dust and rain marks. First layer of dust and streaks are created by airbrushing AK Light Dust enamel and then swiping the enamel with a ratty brush just damp with thinner. Pigments have been applied to the lower hull and running gear. Additional dust effects created with oil paints. I need to bring some of the lower darker colors up the hull sides next.

Wheels are not fully attached so there may be some alignment issues.

super effects Bryan

never thought of using an AB for a full vehicle dust over, but it does look very realistic

Looks like fun too

Enjoy the next stage

Thanks Steve. I was a little nervous about how it was going to turn out. I reworked the rear hull twice and am still not totally happy with it.

[Vincent Power]

Don't be too hard on yourself Bryan, the dust effects look superb.

Thanks Vincent!

...did you ever work out where the fuel fill port is?
