Hi, everyone!
I made a promise to my friend to buld this for him. Building armour is a first time for me. The plan is to build a Yugoslav version captured by Slovenian Teritorial defence, during 10 day war for Slovenia. I will be making some modifications to fit that version, but try to keep it as simple as possible.

This is what I have done so far...
It's an old kit from Tamiya, ment to have a remote control. I'm also using Triglav model conversion set, but stil a lot of things have to be schratchbuilt.

This is an unfamiliar terrain for me, so if anyone has some sugestions, please let me know.
Thank you for looking in!
 
Thanks guys!

Turret iteriour is also done. Nothing special, just glued together what was in the box. I wanted to try hairspray chipping, and this was a good oportunity.
I learned it can be quickly overdone, but I'm happy with how it came out.

Very very cool. Looking good so far. I like the chipping in the turret, look very realistic.

Thanks everyone!
Yes, it's a Tamiya. Box says, made in Brasil. Didn't know they made those there.

Here's a bit of update. Turet cover is done. I used thin sheet styrene.

I'm working on thelower part now. I had do cut away sides and make new ones, also mudguards. I have PE from Triglav model, for ligts housing. pictures I have, show damage on left front side. I tried to recreate that and I'm kindof satisfied with how it came out.
