A bit of a quick build on a newly released kit.
Parts count is only 37, so won't take long at all.
There are 7 sub assemblies dry-fitted to see how it looks.
The 7 sub assemblies separated again and now ready for painting.

Re: Trumpeter 1/72 SAM-6 Anti-Aircraft Missile
Now this is something a bit different and it goes to show that a nicely detailed kit doesn't have to have a zillion parts. Great work so far Chris.

Re: Trumpeter 1/72 SAM-6 Anti-Aircraft Missile
That looks like a very nice kit, I had the pleasure of taking a very close look at a captured SAM 6 launcher in the first Gulf War unfortunately it was minus its missiles, I recall the compartments on its side were spare parts storage, the spare electronic circuit boards I looked at were very basic and retro looking, they looked more 60's than 90's with no sign of any chips.
I must keep an eye out for one of these kits, thanks for sharing your build.

Very nice looking kit Chris. I'm part way through the older 35th scale version. It has a few more parts

Very nice, would make a great addition to my Braille Scale SAM gear. Haven't seen this one in the shops yet.
