And another announcement came in from Meng Model. This time about a set of 4 Russian ZPUs in 1/35 scale, which is to be released in late March 2016.
In modern armed conflicts, the Russian ZPU series anti-aircraft guns are outstanding among a variety of popular light anti-aircraft weapons.

By using 14.5×114mm ammunition, the ZPU series guns can destroy flying targets in 2000m height as well as ground targets within range of 1000m. They are mounted on three different carriages to be three versions of guns including ZPU-1 (single-barrel), ZPU-2 (double-barrel) and ZPU-4 (quad-barrel). The ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun mounts two 23mm light anti-aircraft guns with an efficient firing range of 2500m and firing height of 5100m. It’s very popular fire supporting weapons in frontline.

The 1/35 Russian Light AA Gun Set model kit, to be released end of March, is comprised of four Russian main light anti-aircraft weapons, ZPU-1, ZPU-2, ZPU-4 and ZU-23-2. They have been being important weapons since they were developed half century ago. Let’s see what highlights this kit comes out under the special design of MENG designer!

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 ?) : H.P.
