Title: Not Whiff.. but weird enough Serbian T-55
Post by: buzzbomb on October 21, 2011, 05:53:08 AM
Snooping around on the web looking for, dunno what now... I found this
(https://www.whatifmodellers.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.modelblokez.org.au%2Fbthpix%2Fwhatif%2FAFV%2FYugo%2520T55_src.jpg&hash=b428a515ad1008e12f48392a5777c0f02fd1c957)
I suppose any AA is better than no AA

Which then meant I had to build this

It is a 1/35 Trumpeter T-55 with the awful Italeri Bofors.. finally found a decent use for it.

Bit if a hoot and certainly a bit different

Cheers

That is cool, I have a couple of Zu-23's looking for a home, and a T-55 or several to stick them on. Yep, thats that idea covered  :thumbsup:

That's a great job!  :thumbsup:

I love that people are modelling these improvisations, because real data on them is thin and preishable.
