Hi guys,

today I´ve finished my East German ZSU-23-4M Shilka in 1/35. The model is a customer built and it depicts a vehicle from the 9th tank division of the 23rd tank regiment "Julian Marchlewski". I´ve used the old Italeri kit in combination with K.M.Y etch parts and RB-Models gun barrels. All other small details and the complete diorama base are my own built and creation. This weekend you´ll be able to see this built at Belgrade/Serbia at the New Year modeller convention. Until that enjoy the pictures.

The building process



And finally the end result

Looks great. Good job on the old Dragon kit.

Well done
Dave

Nice job on your Shilka. I really like your weathering and mud along the hull.

Enjoyed looking at your stunning work!

A few comments for the model:
The radar dome is gray.
Escape the timber of the vehicle (stern) comes to be as wide as the vehicle itself.
The 4M version has not been a round mounting holes on the back of the locator.
The green marker lights front and rear, and the tower (back) are red.
The radar (right-hand side drive motor) is a lens configuration, which is parallel to the radar emitter, yours is 90 degrees upward.
A vehicle rear (log escape over) has a mounting lid (this is not developed properly by the manufacturer), there will be donated to the Tower and radar gun protective sheeting.
