I like it. Great work on a not-so-often-finished kit.

A very nicely composed diorama of a kit I have waiting to be completed. The only part that looks a little off is the figure, but I can’t tell you what it is exactly that looks off about it.

Nice, but a few little things wrong or missing.
Where is the nose-mail from the towing wire rope?
1 RL 33 radar (RPK-2) lighter gray plastic cover.
AZP-23 autocannon pipe end cap missing.

I'll correct the wrong things and add these details in my next ZSU.

To juge:
Thanks for your advices and photos.
As you said, I'll buy the RB barrels and FM tracks for my next ZSU.
I want to build it good too!
To seb:
The base and the stones are all made by gypsum.
I paint them with oil paint and color chalk.

Great vignette. I recently traded one of these, to my dismay.

The only problem I notice is that the roadwheel the tanker is investigating is not visible from inside the ZSU.

I like a lot
Your dio has great composition and balance
The only doubt which I have is about the figure's uniform color.
It seems to me a little bit greenish but I might be wrong
Anyway, great job indeed
...well in my opinion T-55 isn' t just a tank. Actually it is THE TANK...

I am working on the paint for the ZSU..its a great kit! I really like the subtle color shades, and the ground work is good. I also added the RB barrels...there is none better. very nice work!
Thanks for the reminder to add the barrel covers, I nearly forgot!

Nice. I'm working on one as well (a DML shilka) . Painted most of it a sand color and needs some few details on the back end of the turret fininshed and assembly of the tracks. Bought it cheap (ended up being partly built).

Great work and great looking landscape!
I also have DML´s ZSU in my stash (including its "follow on"

), and thought about a nice dio for the Shilka.
The big stones looks very good, since I also had problems to reproduce them "realistically". (hard edges - after painting)
greetings and thanks for showing the dio!
