The little beast

1st the gun. Not easy to assemble but the result is really convincing.
I will recommend to dilute tamiya putty in acetone and apply a fine layer on top of each gun to fill up the small gap.
Other advice turn the copper tube gently onto the plastic barrel.
Do not push the flash suppressor it will not get align

Enjoy the pics

Thanks Seb.

I will be following with interest since cold war soviet models are one of my main interests.

Many thanks for the blog.

I see now why the price is a little high.. it certainly looks highly detailed. Having a choice is always a good thing

The ZSU-23 was my first ever AFV build ... albeit an older model from Dragon. I look forward to seeing this one progress.

Craddle glued onto the rotary walls







Trailer is almost finish. I will post more pics this afternoon.

I am working on the sight as we speak. It is a real nightmare. So many little pieces in plastic almost all components are seperated and need to be glued together.
Be careful of the carpet monster.

Realism at best, construction at worst.
