Hey folks, here's my first kitbash. I called it the Abominable Frankenthing based on a friend's reaction to it.
As far as I'm concerned, it's a medium scout and fighting AFV based on the ZSU 23-4's hull and the Chieftain MK.5's turret, albeit with a smaller caliber gun and multiple antenna and sensors added.

Excellent work! I hope your friend was annoyed by your efforts. :)
Interesting combination of hull and turret.

Thanks! It basically came about after I realized a spare Chieftain turret that I had laying around fit in the Shilka's turret ring almost perfectly.

It's got everything to annoy!
I'd guess at least 3 different vehicle bits & a glossy IDF AF paint scheme. Love it!*

What kitbash? You're telling me that

Nicely done all around.

Great combination of tank parts! They look like they belong together.
