Great looking kit Olivier and a nice clean build too.

That’s a massive kit Olivier, pretty detailed too for essentially an OOB build

[Olivier Carneau]

Thanks for the comments.

It is massive and it is not the only one in my collection or stash. The ROK K9 is huge too and the PzH 2000 which will be the next SPG on my workbench is promising too. Beside them the US M 109 looks like a toy

Here is my base paint. I sprayed some Tamiya XF-26 Deep Green then I used some Dark Green for the pre-shading and the highlights are a mix of XF-65 Field Grey and XF-15 Flesh.





Now it's time to tone down the contrast!

[Steve Hutchinson]

That looks really good Olivier

Great progress with the massive piece of artillery

Thank you Steve.
Here are more pictures with the contrast toned down. I'll spray some gloss varnish to apply the decals so things might change a bit.

[Mark Aldrich]

That is really nice looking!

[Philipp Gross]

Fantastic paintjob Olivier

[Olivier Carneau]

Thank you Philipp.
Here is the beast with a coat of gloss varnish and the decals on. I still need to apply a wash to enhance the recesses and I'll call this one done as I want to depict a vehicle parading on the Red Square.

Looking good Olivier, not every kit needs to be weathered to within an inch of its life, modern vehicles in particular are often well maintained as they are expensive items!
