Hey,

Did anybody compare the ZSU-23-2 AA gun from the Trumpeter kit (02348) against the one included in Meng's Pickup kit (VS-004)? Are there any advantages on one or the other?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Cristian

I'd say Trumpeters looks much nicer.

Can't answer on the comparison but the name of thz AA gun is ZU-23-2.
A ZSU is a tank mounted antiaircraft system.

Thank you, Sean! Merci, Olivier!

Hi;

The Meng kit by Far !!!, I have built around Ten ZU-23x2 Guns, the Trump, kit is Good, but the plastic was just A little to Soft for my taste. The Meng kit is made of A Harder plastic which for Me is easier to work with and the level of detail was excellent. The only Down side is that Meng does not sell the ZU-23 as A Seperate item.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Thank you, Mike! The Meng kit gets you the ZU-23-2 and a nice technical for just a couple more bucks compared to the Trumpeter offer so I think it is a fair deal.

Ten ZU-23-2!!! You must be a real fan of those Have any of them online?

Cheers,
Cristian

Hi Cristian;

Most of the ZUs that I built were the old EE, Zvesda kits and were the only kits of the 23s on the Market, almost all of them were Mounted on A Vehicle. I made Two MTLBs with the ZUs mounted on the top, A GAZ-66, A URAL, A BMD long version, to name just A Few. I also replaced the kits Barrels with Model Points item that really made them Stand out, four of the kits that I made were for Friends of mine in VA Hospitals.

CHEERS; MIKE.

Thanks, Mike! I also plan to add that to either a URAL or ZIL and use metal barrels. We'll see how that turns out...

Cheers,
Cristian
