1/35 YA-12 Soviet Artillery Tractor - Early Production

[Mfun]

I have been work on this model, little work have been done.
I started with the engine construction...
I searching in the internet for pictures about the engine wires and the engine compartment but don't find nothing.
Do you have (or know where i can find) some pictures about that ??
Any help is welcone

Nice kit to have a go at M!! Looks like you are off to a great start! I took a little time have a peek around but ran into plenty of reference pics but nothing concrete on the donkey under the hood! I can tel you they carried the "B-2B", 375 hp
12-cylinder. I think one could get lost searching the endless corner of the Russian Interwebs!! Try pluggin the engine and some combinations with Heavy Artillery Tractor or Voroshilovets Artillery Prime Mover into the google box and see what flies and see if there is any good "walk around" pics!

Good luck!!

The Ya-12 light artillery tractor was developed by NATI designers and launched at the Yaroslavskiy Avtomobilniy Zavod Automobile Plant. They developed the YA-11 tractor first but could not produce the required quantity of engines and production had to be stopped.

Nice clean building!!! Enjoying watching this come together!! Figures look like they will fit nicely too!! BTW..good luck on the move!!!

Back to the workbench i would like to start with the tracks.
In the instructions they tell that have a pin system it's easy to fit and don't need glue but i can't fit, probably the problem is me. There is any care that i have to pay attention for i can get the fit ?
Ãnd when you use glue in the tracks wath glue you use ? The "normal" glue like Tamiya/Revell/Humbrol or a specific glue for this task ?

Tks.

I'm no expert, but been told that Tamiya works great on tracks. Gives it a little flexibility. Good looking model!
