Today I did the final bit of gluing parts in the interior that needed to be done prior to painting. I also cut up some mesh into the proper sizes and shapes for the engine deck intake and cooling radiator screens. Nothing worth photos today, but probably tomorrow.
Yes, it helps our brains until we get to the gluing and painting. :lol:

and be proud if it, men.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

What does it remind you of?...

Yes! The de-clawed Dutch YPR-765 PRI of Srebrenica-fame, ehhh... shame...

While normally:

The YPR-765 in Dutch service is replaced by the CV 9035 with 35mm gun, that is prepped to be rechambered to 50mm if the need arises.

Yes, the K-200, can be considered a "cousin" of the YPR. It is essentially a Korean version of the same vehicle made without the 25mm turret for cost reasons. I built the AFV Club YPR kit a few years back. A VERY nice kit.
