My finished build of Mengs Shilka ZSU-23-4. Model depicted as a tank been used during the Syrian conflict/civil war. Stock build, painted with Tamiya Paints (custom yellow), weathered with lifecolor Liquid dust pigments and Ammo dust pigments. Will be building a suitable dio base for it.

Very nice! I know you had fun with it because the kit has a ton of parts, maybe someday I will get to it. Please post again when you have it on a base/dio.

Great Build, fit was great overall, a couple of minor issues with removing parts from the sprue and a small gap at the front of the tank. http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/steves-shilka.27602/
