People
in new issues of the M-hobby magazine published an article about the Soviet self prop AA gun ZSU 23-4 Shilka. Included an excellent drawings of all modifications of that beast in 1/35.
M-H 5/2010 part1 and M-H 6/2010 part 2.
Must buy for all modern Soviet AFV fans.

Hi Taras, sounds great. I recently saw a Shilka in the Stalin Line Museum in Minsk and took a bunch of photos for a walkaround.
Do you know where you can get these M-Hobby magazines? I tried to find them in Belarus but couldn't...

Thanks Jeremy, but I'd rather saw my own arm off than order anything again from Avia Press. I never recieved a book I ordered, had no response at all from my numerous emails, and it took me 6 months to get my refund from the third party who processed payments on their behalf!

You took the words right out of my mouth! I used to buy from Avia fairly often but then they decided that actually shipping your orders, or at least sending you the whole order, was optional. I lost quite a bit of money but won't make the same mistake twice.
A better option may be Hobby Terra. I haven't had a problem with them yet and their prices are good:

I know that in Minsk there are two or three model shops and they sell this magazine.
But I do not know where their distributors in the UK.
Try to write directly to the publisher.

I've always wondered why Trumpeter never made a Shilka after they did the Sam-6. They usually try to expand on any chassis and hull they make by making several vehicles that are built on it.

Thanks Wierdy, but the downloaded file is a .exe which makes me a little nervous - I was expecting a .pdf

I know this an old thread, but I still would like to warn potential buyers for this company.
I ordered a book from Aviapress in May and I still haven´t recieved it. I have tried to get hold of Aviapress via e-mail, but he hasn´t answered any of them.
I don´t really care about the money, but makes me really angry that he simply took them without sending me the book. I guess you can call this my revenge

No kidding! Maybe before these started showing up on eBay and elsewhere it was worth it but I've sent them plenty of orders where it was a crapshoot if I'd ever get anything from them or not. they weren't as bad as armybook.com but not a whole lot better when I finally gave up on them.
