When I was searching the web I found this on Toro Model site:



Photo shows Polish OPFOR soldiers from 1st Assault Battalion. I was suprised when I saw this photo: during Cold War not only West had their own OPFOR forces. East, too. Beside of GAZ-69 they were wearing uniforms and helments like American. They have American weapon, too. Funny thing is face of one of "US" soldiers

Hope someone will decide to build it as vignette

Today. The other side of the curtain

OK. So I'll take a step forward...."Russian" Abrams

Michal

Not Russian, Krasnovian. Krasnova was the mythical OPFOR country at the NTC. There was even a semi offical name for them , Krasnovian mod Abrams.

WOW !!! This is definetely great stuff !

Thanks Michal for having initiated such a good thread !

Can you give some more info about the fake Abrams ? What chassis is it based on etc... Unless it is a real one handed by Uncle Sam ????

Thanks in advance for the info,

Regs,

Richard

Hi Richard
This is not a fake, it's a real Abrams with "Krasnovian" mods like the rear fuel tanks. These OPFOR tanks are used by the US Army for training at the National Training Center.
