Hi all!
Help please! Does anybody has more (better?) pictures about this half green - half desert camo Tunguska?
Thank You!

Reminds me of the camo the Russians were using for their demo vehicles at an arms expo from a few weeks ago. Of course I can't find any of the pics I thought I saved.

Hmm not quite the same

Hi Guys;

Nice pictures. The Tunguska is a great shot, and would be a welcome addition too a collection in that camouflage. Thanks mokush !!
Erik; Your shot is good as it really shows just how small the T-72 really is. NICE Pics.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Thanks for the request and information of this vehicle.
I also have only this image of this vehicle, but I think, on this vehicle two different parts (hull and turret) were combined.

I have the small (1/72) kit, which in this kit a desert-camo is possible.
For my actual 1/35 Panda-kit I have no plans for the camo.

Soo, I think, this vehicle is for testing/ demo the "power of the vehicle".

greetings...
Soeren

PS: Nice picture, Erik!
What ist the "frontal-armor"? (the thing on the bow)

It appears to be an engineering plow like the old BTU-55.

Hi Guys;

Its the Dozer Blade, like the T-55 used. Now if you had a T-55 in your stash it would be very easy too convert it on the T-72. The Desert Dazzler camo is very Striking and would be a real challenge too replicate ! Only If you wanted too show a vehicle that was in a Trade Show however.
The Bar Armor would be nice, and if it was included it in the new kit.
CHEERS; MIKE.
