Can anyone tell me what this man is doing in the picture? could he be loading bearings into reactive armour?

Looks like he's just threading nuts onto bolts for the attachment brackets.

It looks like he was wishing he was somewhere else...

I do agree with Gerald, though, in terms of him doing the nut-n-bolt thing. It seems like there are a few washers in his stack of boxes, too.

Great pic, btw.

Sounds funny.

But as I took a closer look at the picture, I agree to the others... he has something in his hand.

I agree as well. There are stations behind him missing the blocks, so he probably got "caught" actually working....

It looks to be a T-72 M2. I'm pretty sure DML did a kit of a T-72 with ERA. Couldn't vouch for its accuracy if they did though.

T-72B1, can't tell if it's got B's fenders and/or road wheels, there is so much dirt on it.

Here is another cleaner pic of a similar vehicle around the same time.
