Great builds. My favorite would have to be the Chinese truck. It just looks so real to me.

3

Can you get up some better pics.[?] The lighting is washing out the models and reflecting way too much light.

Is that a 1/35 Italeri IS-2, I thought they only did a 1/72?

Hi there Model Maniac.Loved the btr-152.Please excuse my naivety,but is Um the name of the actual name of the manufacturer ? Is it a new company or just new to me ? Are they good kits or do they require a lot of “massaging” ? Thanks , keith

Excellant work.

rudedog,the company in question is usually advertised as ‘UM from Ukraine’.I’ve never seen the ‘UM’ explained.

Many thanks for your kind comments! My favorite would be the one with most guns - the BTR-152D. You see, one is not enough. :wink:

I agree that these pics are not so good, maybe too much stray sunlight. I’ll try to make the background look darker the next time.

Yes it’s Italeri 1/35 but I think it’s originated from Zvezda.

Hi there rudedog. Thanks for your comments and inquiry. The UM is a new brand, a repacking of SKIF’s BTR-152 with new AA x4 guns. They just added the guns. Soon you’ll see ARK Models, another new brand which is a repacking of ALAN, EASTERN EXPRESS and MAQUETTE. They’re available now on some sites, I’ve ordered mine. I’ve had them all, but some are cheaper now…

Many thanks for your kind compliments and information!
