Ba&sic construction almost complete. This radar was used in a SA-2/S-75 battery as a height finding radar. Main attack radar was the Fan Song (SNR-75) but this one had a narrow beam, and this radar was used too broaden the perspective as to say...

first paint applied, somehow my older cheaper airbrush (now I used the H&S infinity) gave me more control to paint then this new one...

Thx for interest... unpacked the camo... not entirely happy, can't stop thinking that the dark green should be a lot darker... But instructions only say light green and dark green.
Opinions welcome...
