I'm looking for pics, links of actual dioramas to start one about Soviet-afghan war, found some great pics here http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=117915&page=12

The project will have BMP-2's BTR's, Tanks in a convoy passing along knocked out vehicles (trucks or APC's) on small roads. Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers.

That is a really great idea. It will be a challenge too.

What kind of help are you looking for?

Pics or Links to Soviet-Afghan war, with knocked out APC's, trucks like the ones the former link shows, vehicles crossing tight passages in the mountains, Where are located the vehicles in the convoy (tanks front and rear, apc's right behind or ZSU-4-23 great suppressing fire platforms, trucks, tankers in the middle), knocked out vehicles that show battle damaged by IED or RPG's. kind of ambus aftermath. How many tanks, BTR's, BMP's, or trucks in a relief/rescue convoy, how many of the same vehicles in a transport or logistics convoy (no more than 10! I'll run out of space at my house). All of them during the period of 1979 to 1989. I remember reading an ambush of tankers trucks in Harold Coyle's Sword Point.

I already started a Team Yankee dio from the same writer with 1/xxx diecast M1's, willys jeep, Bradleys & T-55's. done with the camo painting, going into detailing the hills, trees and fighting positions.

Just need the pics, kits are on the shelf and waiting to order some more. Any other comments are welcome.
