I am getting a bit tired of finishing the recent batch of shelfqueens (still 2 more to go), so i am preparing a new project; Skif’s MT-LB & Meng’s ZU-23-2 from their pick up-kit.
The general idea is to recreate something similar to this:

Good luck with that Skif kit Ron. It will fight you every step of the way.

I am used to a little plastic fight. What will be the main issues I’ll be facing?

Over on Twenot we’re having a bit of discussion on what the colours could or would be.
There’s middle green, something that looks like a khaki over that, “deck tan” and “desert yellow” geometrical shapes, boxed in with green edges. On other images the shapes look a lot more like “dunkel geld” and “flat earth”.
I thought it was one unit of 5 vehicles:
Rear vehicle is 1-720.

You do know that Zvezda just released a Tamiya quality MTLB, right?
You’ll hate yourself a lot less if you get it.

Got the Skif-kit about a year ago for around $15. The Zvezda one would set me back about $50.
We’ll see how well I’ll fare.
