Russian Roulette, Gregovich style
This will be a continuing blog like Chris is doing with Churchill's, except mine will be a little different. I have three builds planned with the following kits, all will have guns of some sort, all three will be from the Ukrainian standoff.
First picture is of some of the supporting items....barrels from RB, etc. Resin wheels from DEF and I have only been able to source one Resin figure so far, I may have to make a couple....eeeeeeeewwwhhhh. I do have a couple Tank Resin heads with Cossack hats on, so that might work. Abrams Magazine had a figure with a Cossack hat on, on there cover a couple of months ago standing in front of a disabled MRLS Ural truck......
Where the guns are being supplied from. I'm real jazzed about this set.....I actually don't know where to start....giddy almost.
Probably pulling the ZPU-4
Probably having the ZU-23-2 on the rear deck. I'll have to modify the sides of the bed some, but no big deal here.
Maybe the ZPU-2 on the rear hull top....I have seen pictures with the ZPU-2 up there, also in Iraqi so we shall see. I also have a BS-3 100MM AT gun in the inventory and there are also photos of the MT-LB pulling those in the Ukraine.

Re: Russian Roulette, Gregovich style
The MT-LB with the ZPU on the back will make an interesting build.
I'm a serial kit starter....

Re: Russian Roulette, Gregovich style
Over the weekend I had sometime to work on the ZPU-4...took about 8 hours to get here, just lots of little parts, Bronco like. The RB barrels were not a perfect match up to the Meng guns, but I was able to sort it out. It's configured in travel mode to be pulled by the UAZ-469.

Nice Flakvierling
Seriously though, that thing looks as German as Sauerkraut and Bratwurst...with a side order of Borscht

Re: Russian Roulette, Gregovich style
So you say this is going to be a continuing blog. So at your rate of building you will have the whole project finished in about 4 months.
