Chuck Most Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Quick little one-evening project based on the old 1:35 RPM Drezyna Pancerna BA-20ZD kit. An ill-fitting little nightmare, but the vehicle is so cool looking and I got the kit dirt cheap, so here it is. I did it as a Soviet BA-20M, in 20th Brigade winter camo. The kit comes with rail wheels and railroad tracks, but I liked the pneumatic tires with artillery wheels that were also included, and after seeing a 20th Brigade BA-20M on tanks-encyclopedia.com, I opted to go that route. And artillery wheels just seem so fitting on a combat vehicle. I'm not happy with my hand-painted camo scheme, but it looks like nothing else on my shelf and it was a fun project, so I'll call it a success.

Mike999 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 That one's a success if you got it together! And that's a nice clean build. "Ill-fitting little nightmare" applied to most RPM kits I tackled. For a long time they were the only game in town for a WWI Renault FT-17 tank in 1/35 scale. Some resin detail/conversion sets for that one practically re-built the whole kit. The RPM kits have thankfully been retired by the excellent MENG FT-17's. Some of those have full interior and engine detail, and offer a choice between riveted or welded turrets plus other options. The hand-painted camo is probably about right for a paint job applied in the field, with brooms and big paintbrushes. The only other thing I'd do is give it a dark wash, to pop out the detail on all those bolts and hinges. But sometimes getting a kit built and painted is enough of a struggle.
