Having done the guns that come with their "Technicals" this is going to be a lovely set: detailed yet relatively easy to assemble.

At least you can put a KPVT on a Northern Alliance T-55 :

Am I the only one who finds this "novel"? Like releasing German 15mm, 20mm, 20mm flakveirling, and 37mm in one set? Not a complaint, but interesting marketing decision.

This might just bring me out of kit building hiatus. Absolutely love this weapon system. As terrible as the situation in Syria is, we're getting the most incredible footage of these weapons slinging tracers across enormous distances.

Mmmm might need one or four of these!!

Frenchy my friend two questions
A) do you have any other photos of that tank??
B) is it actually a T55 & not possibly the Chinese built version??? I only query it because of the head lights look to be in the same place as the Chinese version

Cheers Mike

Hi Mike

You're probably right about this tank being a Type 59 rather than a T-55, as Afghanistan appears in the user list (...and I'm no expert )

Anyway here are a few more pics :







+ this one (T-62 ?) :

Another view :



PS : the last one in my previous post should be a T-55, like the one below





Sorry for the digression Mario

And to get back on topic the last two photos do look like the as gun has been swapped over to a zsu to my unkoneing eyes anyway when I look at the barrels!!

Merci Frenchy
