Puch, Serbian Armed Forces

 This is continuation of a project that inspired me to make this blog, as i started this kit in 2009. At that moment, Revell just released Puch/Mercedes G jeep, and i presumed this would be an easy conversion to make the vehicle used by Yugoslav people's Army, Yugoslav Army,Armo fo Serbia and Montenegro and lastly, Serbian armed forces. 

It was not easy.

The roof was a problem and it took several atempts to make correct one, or at least one that my conscience would accept. What i presumed to be a good roof back in the days, was later discovered to lack decent frontal slope, which i altered. I have built another roof from styrene, and used another option for instalation of windows.

After this reconstruction, the roof was installed (dryfitted as it could be said), and windows (inside and out) were protected for painting.

Initial painting

Sme correction and sanding and final instalation and paint. I used interior green FS34102 with a bit of white for scale effect.

Further work will be based on adding brown and black for camouflage...
