Thank you!
Slowly but steadily, this build continues. Since the parts are covered by thick Americana layer, it is almost impossible to use a white glue which I always prefer. I found a bottle of universal acrylic glue which is much stronger than white paper glue. It gives quite Glossy seam which I really didn't like, but this time the parts are glossy, so it's OK.
The rear wing parts are supposed to be edge joined, but I don't like edge gluing. So I prepared small gluing strips using some 80 gsm paper scraps.
The process is very slow since I have to allow the glue to dry completely before moving on and this glue is drying not so fast as i would like it to dry...

Hello all.
Because of some unexpected issues I have to put this boulden hold until end of August at least.
I don't know how many watch this thread, but I deeply apologize. I hope I will be back soon.

Hello everybody
August ended, September flew away, October said goodbye, November came by and here I am, saying hi

So I took a longer than expected brake. I moved into new house (well it's new for me..) and all the fix ups, furniture assembly, door renovation project I just couldn't get to this model.
Yesterday I got the box with the model out and there I saw that there is alot of damage to the ladder frame...

The result of dropping the box and the humidity getting in is seen in the attached pics
The damage is very heavy on one of the beams, some crossmembers disconnected, front suspension got off and everything seems to be crooked.
So, I am gaining my strength to deal with this unpleasant situation. Wish me luck, first leg of fixing operation will be conducted this Friday ( hopefully)....

Boris, good work on the model. Sorry to hear about the damage to it.

I've been in my new to me house for a bit over 2 years and only in the last few months have really got back to the modeling bench with regularity.

Hello all.
I disassembled the frame and removed the steps and fuel tanks, fixed the beams and attached the crossmembers and the other parts. So, the frame is fixed....
UHU glue really rules here.

After the fix, I moved on and attached the grill and wings part to the engine compartment.

Hello everybody
A small update this time.
I was trying to find transparent sheet that would fit this model. Remembering that the front windshield frame is thin but the windshield is panoramic ( it was first panoramic windshield in Soviet made trucks). This all means that the transparent plastic has to be thin but not too soft.
I had a wonderful 0.3 mm plastic that works very well in vacuum-formed canopies. But it is too thick and stiff.
So, I searched... Found a nice 8x10 cm plastic from my kids' markers wrap. Pretty stiff but only 0.18 mm thick. So, I could continue.
First I added the inner wall with a handle bar. Then continued with doors, windshield and cab back wall.
The back wall got me sick. Made from 3 parts, two lower have a very intricate curvature with a top part added. Everything is edge glued. I stopped counting how many times I tried to fix these parts after 10...
In the end I got something that looks acceptable...
Doors didn't cause any trouble, need to be very careful with inner cuts. Sharp knife is a must here. I even managed to leave the separating frame between the roll down part and the front swivel part. We're talking about hairline about 0.5 mm thick...
And no special trouble with the windshield.
Then I tried to connect the doors to backside wall, no real advance here so I stopped before I cause damage

Hello all
And so I am back...
I must point out that covering the model with thick layer of Americana finish was absolutely bad idea. There are some parts fit problems (in attaching of front doors in their front part) but it gets even worse when parts are not flexible enough

Hi all
One more small update
I just had to finish the warning lights. In USSR, the warning lights for firefighters vehicle could be mostly blue, rarely red.
Nothing too difficult here except the size of the base. We're talking about 1 mm wide strip...
