thanks alex z,zack

hey mauro,any more interesting russian sites for me ,i'm looking good photos of the russian bmr in afghanistan got 2 great ones form olivier,thanks and regards zack

Edited for everyone's viewing pleasure. The problem was the source of the photo...you cannot use the url on the page of the photo, you need the url from the info of the photo when you right click and look at properties.

And, as ever Zach, nice work.

thanks jacque,regards zack

Welcome Zack to Armorama. And what an introduction. Im not into modern armor much, but its hard to beat some rusty Russian stuff. If all goes to plan, I might get a chance to see these later this year at the IMSS?

Well Zack, I've tried to find good references for you, but unfortunately there are few of them on the net

Anyway here you are some pics.If i find anything else surely i'll let you know

cheers and congrats again for your outstanding dio

Great Build
Its my first comment on a Blog although I have been reading it daily for the past four years as I love soviet and eastern block armor.

I hope one day to be able to build my kits to this level, this Dio really is inspiring.

Is there a possibility to have a closer look at the figures? especially the standing soldier ?

Great work, im impressed by the groundwork, looks really like the real Bekka valley.

hi ya jamal,i'm delighted to hear that,there would be nothing worse than some fella in dublin making a mess of a bekka dio,when some body like you knows what it looks like,thank you very much,zack

hi ya adel,the figures are all ways tricky ones for me,for while there not central they add the vital human element and scale,i'l l try and post some photos

here ya go adel and apri i hope there of use to you,regards zack

Did you use Esci and tamiya t55s kits didn't you?

Amazing work indeed Zack

It could be nice to see a "build story" of your dio, here on armorama

mauro the vt 55 is a mix of choped up trumpeter body,esci wheels and track,while the 54 is esci boby and tamyia turret

Zack, your work is awesome buddy, you got me into Russian armour! Looking forward to more projects from you!
