Having done the guns that come with their "Technicals" this is going to be a lovely set: detailed yet relatively easy to assemble.

At least you can put a KPVT on a Northern Alliance T-55 :

Am I the only one who finds this "novel"? Like releasing German 15mm, 20mm, 20mm flakveirling, and 37mm in one set? Not a complaint, but interesting marketing decision.

This might just bring me out of kit building hiatus. Absolutely love this weapon system. As terrible as the situation in Syria is, we're getting the most incredible footage of these weapons slinging tracers across enormous distances.

Mmmm might need one or four of these!!
Frenchy my friend two questions
A) do you have any other photos of that tank??
B) is it actually a T55 & not possibly the Chinese built version??? I only query it because of the head lights look to be in the same place as the Chinese version
Cheers Mike

Hi Mike
You're probably right about this tank being a Type 59 rather than a T-55, as Afghanistan appears in the user list (...and I'm no expert

)
Anyway here are a few more pics :



+ this one (T-62 ?) :

Sorry for the digression Mario
