UM 1:72 BA-6 armoured car


Recommended Posts

UM BA-6 built out of the box. as per usual, I used Vallejo paints weathered with oil washes, filters and finally MIG pigments to tie the model into the

base.

A great kit, though UM plastic is quite brittle, which did cause some breakages. I used a metal aftermarket barrel as the kit barrel was beyond

salvaging.

In in all a great little kit and I even got all wheels touching the ground, which often can be an issue with wheeled AFV's.

Not being an AFV guy by the remotest stretch of the imagination (I built an Airfix 1:76 T-34 in my early teens, and a Revell Long Tom that I shot to pieces with an air rifle), I really do enjoy a model (of any kind) which gives that eerie impression of shrunk reality.

This one belongs squarely in that category. Stunning, really!

Only microscopic gripe might be the 404 which looks a bit clean and fresh to my eyes. Might be the photo, though.

Superb!

Good job on the vehicle! I like that you base most of your pieces and that it's braille too!

What do you use for your bases though? What's the dimensions on them?

Take care,

I use MDF drink coasters from the craft section of a big hardware store.

They are just the thing for most braille scale projects.
