AFU Pick up and ground robotic platform (UGV)

Good day everybody!

This will be my next project. For my first two kit I wasn’t use any accessories, so this is bigger thing to me.
I think the Meng Pick up and the Tamiya kit are well kown, but the Spalah kits not really (I ordered these from Ukraine, from the plastic model store).
Luckily, there are more and more modern themed accessories available lately, the ICM kit is a best buy in my opinion, it’s well designed and really has a lot of weapons that can be used for any modern theme.
As for UGVs, the variety is much more limited, although there are certainly 3D models that can be printed at home if you have the opportunity. In any case, this Spalah kit is sorely lacking in that aspect.
And although the Ukrainian Army, does not use this type, so there will be a bit of “what if” in the build, I would definitely have liked to use one.

The Spalah is an Ukrainian manufacturer who make figures, accessories and some vehicles with 3D printing.
Both the compressor and the UGV are packed in a small paper box.
The compressor is divided into two sub-assemblies and comes on a single sheet, while the UGV is divided into 7 parts. This includes the “chassis”, the two side apron plates, the two side caterpillar tracks (with idlers and drive and suspension), and the two “fender” elements.
Both sets are beautifully crafted and detailed.
The Stokhid platform was mainly developed for medevac and logistical tasks. Its design is similar to the Milrem THeMIS.
