I have this so far.. the first few steps of the Trumpeter 1/35 AS-90 SP Gun,

Next is where the creative juices crank up a bit and we get moving, but the thought process at the moment is arounda British Mobile medium SAM Launcher.
Stay tuned
-
Sounds intriguing. Looking forward to the build. :)
-
I will be following this with great interest.
-
Be watching this! :D
I have an AS90 I want to build as a RAM SPG (so pretty much OoB) but this will help with ideas. :)
-
thanks guys, but no pressure :o
The basic idea to plastic is taking shape
(http://www.modelblokez.org.au/bthpix/whatif/AFV/AS90/AS90_2.JPG)
Started out thinking of using the missiles off the Trumpy SA-6 Gainful, but then decided.. they look like SA-6 Gainful missiles.

So using things like this for inspiration
(http://www.ausairpower.net/PLA-IADS/HQ-7B-Crotale-TELAR-1S.jpg)
pretty much ended up looking at the canister container, quick reload option, hence the tuby things.
Bit bland but lets see how it pans out
-
I don't know about bland, all the ribby bits & stuff, besides it's very practical & minimises in-field maintenance issues. :)
-
That is super clever!!
-
I like where this is heading.
-
I like the canisters for the missiles, too. Off to a great start!
-
:)
-
Like that internal turret surgery and legit looking launch tubes. :)
Photo shows Russians went for optional white wall tires. Got plans for white wall road wheels ?

That's the Chinese mate. The Russians know that keeping white walled tyres clean is a bitch!

Thanks for setting me straight on 21st century markings.
Make sense. Russians likely learned their keeping white walls clean lesson the hard way during the great war.
-
They probably stopped using them the same time as the US did....about the same time as fins went out of fashion... ;)
-
right then... some work has been done OMG!!!!!
(http://www.modelblokez.org.au/bthpix/whatif/AFV/AS90/AS90_3.JPG)
One final push and we should be done
-
This looks like it could be either a SAM or a MLRS
-
Coming along nicely!
-
Bah! Needed more ribby things! :P
-
So here it is.. Sans more ribby things ;D

Still haven't to a trendy name so AS-90S SAM Delivery System it will be
-
Cool bananananas! 8)
(Even without more ribby thingy bits. ;) )
-
Balanced weathering,nice colors...a job well done !!! :-*
-
Job Well Done! The open canister adds a nice detail to the photos.
So Cool.
-
Awsome!!
-
Great job! The color and weathering are very realistic and I love the small details, like the hinges on the launch tubes.
-
Will the SAMs be Radar guided? Can we expect to see a Radar Vehicle in the future?
-
Dang good build. :)
Looks OOB with right amount of weathering.
-
Dang! Beaten to the post - and there was me thinking start early, finish early... It just never seems to work out that way!
Great model, very nice finish and an excellent idea all round.
-
thanks guys.
It is ok, not quite what my minds eye saw, but that does sometime play tricks on me :o

Food for thought there.. be great on an FV457 Base vehicle.. although I do have an unpainted Warrior....hmmmmmmmmmm
-
That looks cool. Nice work
-
Very cool indeed!
-
Great looking build. I can't help thinking of it in an SF setting.
