looking good thus far. Are you going to do a single colour or camouflage pattern?

Looks good! Which nationality will it have? Soviet?
Some years ago, I built a 3-tone camo afghanistan ZSU, but on newer images they have a 4-tone camo.

to Baker:
yeah I've seen the barrels of RB model
It's the best choice for ZSU
this work is as a present for my friend
I think I'll built a ZSU with new barrels and new tracks for my own
to Soeren:
yes
it will be a ZSU of soviet
and there are still some thoughts in my mind
I'll try my best to show it on this work
by the way
the memory about making models always make me happy

Thanks for the images!
I thought about to buy and build another ZSU. This time with some metal-parts.
(PE-parts, barrels, tracks and some wires)

Great work! I really like the ZSU, I'd really like to make one with an interior one day. What company produces this kit?

Looks like the old Dragon/Shanghai Dragon kit.
Long ago Kirin supposedly did a turret interior, but I never even saw one.
Trakz put one out briefly, but those are rare as hen's teeth as well.
Hopefully once I decide to tackle my 'great big box o' ZSU bits', Trumpeter will bite the bullet and release one and the aftermarket guys will re-pop an interior.
I saw an in-progress project at AMPS a year or so back, someone going whole hog in the innards, but did not get a chance to chat with the builder.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

Thanks Mike, I hadn't realsied the Trakz kit was out of production.
Thats a bummer. What are the options for a 1:35 ZSU? Is it just DML? Zvezda don't seem to do one.

What's up with the telephone pole hanging off the back of yours Yang?

Nice job to both of you!
What did you use for the tiedown chains and the unditching log?
Gabor - incredible detail on the guns!

Hi all
I have the kirin / Jaguar interior kit (test shot without instructions) for the Shilka.
I was wondering if this kit was ever produced.
The kit has a very detailed turret driver compartment and turret gun bay with all the hatches detailed inside and out.
I would like to see what the instructions looked like if anyone has a set???
The Tracks kit looks good but this kit is more detailed.

Hi John, that sounds interesting!
Does anyone know when these Jaguar sets were in production and what the production run was? I'd love to get my hands on one, I guess ebay or assassination are my only bets these days!

The set has been released about 10 years ago under Krin brand but now oop.
I got a set being copied from Krin in a local shop some years ago and a set released from Trackz. Trackz currently is the only one to release this detail set.
