The device on the semi-trailer is a radar system, part of S-300. So no chance of a kit by now.

Two more :

Apparently Hobby Boss does a trailer-mounted version. It looks different from what is on the train in the above pic though.

Yes, the one on train is deff. much older version. If I recall (and thats questionable) it had multi stages that gave it the longer range?
Reminds me more of Sinai and Viet nam:

Edit: corrected by HP, human google of weapon systems…

Ahh. Trumpeter also does the tracked radar and truck-mounted radar in 1/35.

Jeeee-sus! Is there anything Russian that Trumpeter doesn’t do? I’ve never been able to see all of Trumpeter’s AFV catalog all in one place. Do they keep all of these monsters in production all of the time? How can they manage that?

Because you don’t want your shipmates to see/rescue you?

When the war is over, how about for a cartoon show about a couple of brave farm tractors against evil military vehicles, like Cars movie. Deere and Fendt against Putin? Or T.R.A.C.T.O.R Patrol?.

Missing the salad here :smiley:

As for combat farm tractors, German company Eicher (1936 to 1992) made farm tractors with telling names.

On a side note, Conrad makes a 1/35th scale Eicher…

With a 245 Euros price tag (much more on eBay…), it should be the Roll Royce of diecast tractors…

This is the scale tractor I am going with. Currently have it broken down for detailing.

As seen during the “Great Tractor War”…

And I thought that 95 Euros for a Fendt tractor made by Wiking were a lot…

Edit OpSec

Lot of hi-price diecast farming stuff from Wiking

Just in case you need some detail pics…
