Kingsman Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) I came across this site while looking for something else, as you do. Not wishing to spark any debate about the rights and wrongs of the faith, ideology, legality of the conflicts etc etc, there are some interesting modelling ideas in here. It appears that IS was able to operate an AFV repair and overhaul facility in addition to producing the various improvised AFVs and VBIEDs we have most usually seen. http://spioenkop.blogspot.co.uk/ Edited January 2, 2018 by Das Abteilung spelling 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_farrier Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 @Das Abteilung that was a fascinating read one that I will undoubtably read again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I really like the tank in a frame covered with leather or fabric strips, allegedly as "multi-spectral camo". But unless it's IRR it isn't fooling anyone .......... And let's not even think about concealment - or maneuvering in urban areas. Not to mention that turning a tank into an enormous square object doesn't exactly make it inconspicuous. I suppose it could pose as a building from a distance! But what a good way to rescue an old Trumpeter, Esci/Italeri, Skif/UM or Lindberg T-55 kit. All you can see is the gun barrel (after market) and the bottom of the track and wheels. Multitudinous sins well and truly hidden........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_farrier Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I wondered about the leather coverings too. However the article did say that none have appeared in air attack videos althoughcould be many other reasons for this. I had no idea that IS was so well organised as to have a tank repair facility. Certainly some interesting build ideas here. no real impossible build for that theatre so long as you base you model on a t55 or t72! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsman Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Well there's certainly some insane stuff at that link! But I see that the poor Iraqis are still saddled with Saxons ........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Actually we sold them to them not so very long ago.....Not something I'd fancy facing a ZPU-23-2 in, let alone a RPG-29! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
