This is from Patrick, a member of my modelling club, and I think it is worth to see it

Wow , Wonderful diorama. Love the Mi-8 (17?) . Does the setting depict Chechnya? What kit is the van ?

Hi Vivek
I corrected the links
The guy told me it is Chechnya, and the van is a UAZ-452

What a stunning diorama- really nice cold weather effects- excellent figure painting and arrangement- and the vehicles and heli are painted and weathered brilliantly too- a real tour-de-force of a scene!

No words for it.... Well executed! Can anyone ID the figure with the open battle dress in front of the HIP?
Thanks

I can only echo the others' comments. It is nice to see a non-WWII subject being done and being done so well!

Norbert, I hope to not pile on the praise, but this looks great! The painting and weathering of the helicopter and soldiers is really something special! (To go along with the overall dio!)

Thank you all guys for your kind comments,
Mike, he is not as strong in english as in modeling, so he asked me to translate questions and answers
the other way to translate is to copy and past in google traduction, even if it gives sometime funny results.

Hi
In his behalf, many thanks for your kind words
Now to answer some questions :
the van is the Bilek kit
the figure with open battledress, he thinks it is Masterclub.
