Another modern Russian vehicle. Two different guns, must have been a logistics nightmare.

In keeping with the modern Russian theme here is a 9A53 Tornado S MLRS in Russian Green. Not too thrilled with the color but a nice enough kit.

Thanks Don I enjoyed this one and looking forward to the Takom Blitz StuG III that I have on order. It's the same lower hull with the StuG superstructure and larger gun. Should be fun and another easy build. Lloyd

Thanks Lawrence Here's a couple outside in the sunlight so it's a bit washed out Lloyd

Thanks Houston It is different and sick of all the Russian green so some tan is welcome Lloyd

Thanks Jasper Yes I am starting to get quite a Russian collection of T-72 to T-90. missile launchers, BRDMs and whatever. Lloyd

Thanks Jasper Yes they didn't run these through the mud, too hard to tow if stuck, lol Lloyd

Thanks Gaz Yes it's pretty big, no chance of fitting my display case. Lloyd

Here is the beast, mostly complete but still needs the Accurate Armor tie downs. chain tighteners, etc.

Here is something a little different, in Syrian colors for a change.

Thanks Matthew Lloyd

Thanks John Not really that busy but I have to have at least two, three or five on the go at a time. Down to 3 at the moment, got to pick up something new, Thanks Phil Looks like Takom got the winch looking close to the real thing. It's a bit of a pain putting the cable on it but it looks good when complete Lloyd

Thanks Jasper Yes another great kit from Takom. I have their StuG III on order which is essentially the same kit. Thanks Simon Thanks John Lloyd

Thanks Harry Fat fingers again Lloyd

One of the new Takom "Blitz" series, a nice little guy.

Thanks Jasper Lloyd

Spare wheel touched up. Missed this, thanks SimonT

Thanks Simon Yes I see the oops on the spare wheel. Camera shows all again of course. I'll get that touched up PDQ. Thanks for looking. OK, it's fixed, no photo but paint is drying. Damn camera,,,,,,,, Lloyd

German recovery Panther. Full interior but most is hidden of course. Started this on Friday and finished it following Wednesday so with only a 6 day build might have missed a few spots. Yes, some long days involved. .

Impressive. Beautiful weathering work. Looks like a real beast. Lloyd

Thanks Chris Yes done, moving on .......... Lloyd

Thanks John Yes didn't see much detail on the first photos. Thanks Darryl The T-54/55 series aren't very big but they are nice models. Go for it. Lloyd

Final pics of the Tiran 4. Some in sunlight and some in shade, quite a difference. This is after some gloss and some Dark Brown Panel Liner. Shows the detail better and I did add the serial number plate after these photos were taken so it's done.

Thanks Das Serial number plate was still in the box but it's on there now. Mold lines and sprue attachments are eyes not as young as they used to be, lol. More pics coming with some dark treatment to the cracks, etc but taken before the serial number plate was attached to the glacis. Lloyd

Just a little guy compared to a Merkava. The weathering doesn't hardly show in the direct sunlight. Will have to darken things up a bit. Stay tuned.
