I don't know why, although I suspect you missed part of the URL when copying it, but yours doesn't link to the actual site.

I had to look up that ATGM

Looking really good. I like the Stugna-P better than the anti-drone assembly.

Which leads us to the question "what will Frank put the anti-drone assembly on?"

 The bases for both these builds look excellent, Frank.

Thanks, guys! The Stugna-P has had similar success to the Javalin in putting Russian tanks into orbit. I have a few of the resin Javalin tubes and will add one ready to fire with the controller. I may throw in some AT4 anti-tank tubes as well. The Ukrainians aren't as bad as the Russians when in comes to over-loading their vehicles to the gills with ammo, but I've seen  videos of HMMWVs with an AK-47 and an M-14 and a few AT4s in the turret, with a few more AT4s in the cabin, and loads of ammo.

I'm finally done with this build!

Tank Hunting in Crimea - in search of the last few mobile Russian tanks:



I really ran out of steam with the figures. I used a Ukranian digital uniform camo decal on the figures and they worked OK, but just couldn't get motivated to fully paint and detail them. The figures are from the ICM Stugna-P set and are basically OOB except for the arm bands and the rifle straps. The Javelin is from the Magic Factory NATO weapons set:









The AT-4 anti-tank weapon haphazardly tossed in the front passenger's area is there for Story...

It's also based in part on some videos I've seen from an American fighting in Ukraine (Crewserved4days) - a  gunner in a HMMWV; in some of his videos he's firing off AT4s that are either just rolling around in his turret or fed to him from below.

I'm glad to finally finish these two vehicles. Now I'll clean up my work bench and take a break before I tackle another project. Thanks for looking and commenting!

For the record, bottom one was my FOB Safety Officer incarnation.


But enough about me - what's the plan for that anti-drone dingus you've got surplus now????

Terrific outcome adding the roof mounted Stugna-P. Great builds, both of them.

The Canadians mounted the TOW to their MRZR's.

Great job on both of these! 


Definitely confirmed that I NEED to add these to the collection, sooner rather than later.

Thanks, guys! No plans yet for the anti-drone dingus (ADD) I used the roof support on the Ukrainian vehicle (you can't build two of the exact same vehicle with what's in the box) but that's just a slab with three holes for the mount.

@LemonJello - if you do get one, don't make both at the same time and plan the painting ahead. You can whif/simplify the build greatly by declaring it all one color and painting the interior floor the same as the exterior color. No need to paint the engine and transmission during the build, either. The engine area can be painted after construction, either with some masking and an airbrush or just dabbing black or dark gray paint in the area.
