Title: FV101 CVR(T) Skorpion '30'
Post by: ChalkLine on June 21, 2024, 08:08:45 AM

Nothing to show just yet but I recently bought the AFV Club FV101 CVR(T) Scorpion from BNA and I thought I'd drop the Soviet Shipunov 2A42 30mm automatic cannon into it but when I got the kit it was too pretty to build anything but stock.

However then I saw some images of how they reload the 30mm belts and it looks like the perfect scratch-build for a vignette

Maybe do it in Ukrainian markings with a combo of Russian and Western equipment?

I generally do them in Twilight War stuff; a post WW3 where the armies come together to survive against brigandage and the destruction they wrought themselves. I find the current world stuff too nasty to model and it lets me mix and match NATO and WTO stuff liberally.

Yeah... Twilight 2000 Stuff.. like it.

Although the combo idea from GTX is tasty as well.

It is a great kit.. you will like it.
