It was sitting in a closet until it finally arrived. There were several options. The most popular was a vehicle used by PMCs, but black and worn out. So, I settled on vehicles donated to Ukraine. There were several configurations – with Russian and American weapon, and without. Painted green, with pixels and strange sand-brown patterns. I’ll stick with green. I’ll think about putting a rifle in the truck, because ultimately, it will house four SSO operator figures from BlackSnake Models – great figures of excellent quality. The model isn’t complicated. In fact, you could probably assemble it in two evenings. Where other manufacturers shred parts to chase, MENG went for a somewhat simplified approach. Is it good? Yes and no. It depends on what you want. I needed a simple model, one I’ve long wanted in my collection. No fancy details, but cool figures and a loaded truck. What will happen? We’ll see.
Looking forward to this one. The figures look really good, I was thinking about getting some of these as well.
Cheers,

Nice idea for a project.
The figures look great unlike the MACV-SOG ones from the same manufacturer which are pure fantasy and totally inaccurate
Idid a diorama about it. I will send photos
I think most of the figures in Azov line were designed by Beñat Lorenz. In my opinion, these are by far the best in BlackSnake range.

The chassis frame is pre-dusted. It will be polished after assembly. The grille, front bumper, and cargo area interior are matte black.
I have one (in pixel camo) as a long time project so i’ll follow your build closely! Thanks for posting your photos
How does the kit build? I have a buddy that has the 24th scale version.
I also got this kit for this exact puprose. They are rare but the only models that would be the more “common” pick up are only 3D printed models.
Good luck!
I like the rust on the exhaust, it’s very well done and looks like a newish vehicle.
@Dan -1/35 and 1/24 are definitely the same elements. As I wrote, it’s a simple model, an ‘easy kit’.
@Vstobinskii -Please share your workshop
@Maximus8425 -It doesn’t look like a new exhaust.
It’s coming together nicely. Good job so far.
I looked the kit up on scalemates and it claims there is no AM for the kit.
It’s a really nice kit as is despite being less detailed than its 1/24 version. If you want to see some stupid-high prices, go look up the 1/24 version on EvilBay - holy smokes they’re costly now.
I searched and waited for a long time. It wasn’t available in Polish scalpers, until suddenly it appeared. I bought it for about $30. One is enough for me.
My buddy who has the 24th version mentioned the typical costs on these kits.
