SeanM Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Don't know why I decided on such madness but I'm building 4 modern Russian anti-aircraft systems in parallel. The kits are: Meng Shilka - beautiful kit with workable tracks but clean-up of the spruce attachments on each link has to be exact for them to connect. Trumpeter SAM-6 - simple kit, nice missiles. Link&length tracks though. Not a fan of them from when I build one years ago. Will replace these. Panda Tunguska - horrible kit. POOR fit of parts and really overdone with tiny bits. Non workable individual link tracks. Might replace these too Panda TOR - such an improvement over the Tunguska. Very detailed radar that went together very well. Also has individual workable tracks Soviet AAA Soviet AAA Currently on the process of priming them all. Each will get a different colour scheme just undecided on which ones yet....

Antoine Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Nice idea! I've just updated my "to buy" list with an SA-4, SA-8 and SA-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) SA-8 AND SA-13 are possible future additions but have you ever seen anything as ugly as that SA-4? 😂 SA-2 Is another I'd like to add sometime. But first to finish these 4. I have a great track record of starting projects, not so good at finishing..... EDIT: Have the SA-9 also in the collection Edited August 13, 2017 by SeanM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Lovely selection of triple A Sean, the Russian material is always so amazingly industrial to look at. Built for a single purpose with no ribbons and bows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanM Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 I got both sets of Meng/AK paints for Modern Russian Armour and I have to say they do spray very nicely. Russian AAA All 4 vehicles have now got their base colour. I'm using the schemes in the Meng Shilka booklet for 3 of them. It may not be 100% accurate but they look good and that's good enough for me. Russian AAA Russian AAA Russian AAA The Tunguska will get an Artic scheme with black and grey stripes Russian AAA I hope to get a good bit of the camo painting done over this weekend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 As I said before, how much work, some must be magnificent once camouflaged, because they are very interesting vehicles ... Cheers Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
