Nice review but you didn't notice one issie. In the box are Nokian tires, vehicles in Chad used Michelins so if someone want.to build real replica had to change the wheels.

Nice review but you didn't notice one issie. In the box are Nokian tires, vehicles in Chad used Michelins so if someone want.to build real replica had to change the wheels.




Rosomak and Mi-17 in Chad:


a rear end (turreted version) with some local architecture:


a turreted version with local transportation (and some architecture in the background)


The tread pattern looks very similar to the one on the kit parts, can't comment on the text on the side walls of the tyres though ...
/ Robin


But now I can:
This image is probably not from Chad but it does show the same tread pattern as in the images above and it shows the side walls good enough to make out the letters "nok" and "kian" on the first and second wheel

Thank you for the thorough review! This kit is on my to buy list, my favourite variant of the Rosomak.

I think DEF Model are planning the Michelin tyres as well as the Nokian. And Panzerart have a Michelin wheel set already.


Cheers,

I have found this picture. A vehicle in Afghanistan.



Not sure it is RPG nets. It looks bar armor or something like this. I don't know the turret type.
