Miniart 1/35 PE-95 Generator

[frank2056]

I got the Miniart PE-95 generator recently:



The extra fuel can and accessories are nice, but I wanted to build the generator. It's a pretty simple build, despite the very small PE parts. I used Ammo Ultra Glue (basically, white glue) for the PE and it worked well.



Seven tiny wingnuts and I didn't lose a single one:



I got this far in just a couple of hours. Painting was pretty simple. I used Badger Stynylrez olive green primer.









I painted the generator with the new(ish) Ammo Atom olive drab acrylic paint. It went on like a dream, with thin, dense coats, amazing coverage and it dried quickly. 
I added the decals, did some modest weathering with AK pigments (after removing dust and cat hairs) and called it done:



Fuel and exhaust side:



Other side:



The control panel has many decals for dials and other markings. Miniart didn't include decals for the four smaller dials at the upper right, so I made those - even though they're practically invisible. I filled the dial faces with some clear paint.



Really nice kit overall and a very quick build - even with the PE and tiny decals. The extra parts are nice, too.

Frank, when did you learn to PhotoShop so well?


Seriously, that last photo looks like a real bloke looking at a real gen set exceptionally well PhotoShopped onto a painted concrete background.

Superb!!  It's even got a passing labourer scratching his head over the quality of finish!!

Nice.  Need more generic "stuff" for the those rear area dioramas.

Very nice ! Did Buddy ever figure out what's wrong with it ?

This was a relaxing build (surprising, considering all the PE) just challenging enough and with almost no fit problems.

I think our buddy decided that it needed fuel to start up.
