hi all,
I have a dragon ZSU 23-4 kit and want to model it as either a russian tank in afghanistain or as an afghan version. Does anybody know what colour schemes they would have been in. Thinking of placing in a diorama with either russian tank crew from icm or afghan tank crew from warrior.

Any help would be great

Plain "russian green" with a LOT of dust. Also, remove radar antenna if you want to build Russian Shilka in Afghanistan.

Modern "Zoo" in Afghanistan would be russian green with pastel purple and Pastel yellow cammo in "wiggly line" config. Really stands out. Afghan only.

Otherwise, as mentioned, very dusty russian green.
