Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

That motorcycle is interesting. Maybe they can put it good use like this one that the Ukrainians are using:


An old school version like mine - tractor seats and drum brakes. Needs to be built.

I do have a motorcycle/mortar project on the bench, but vastly different than this. Pics coming soon.

Edit: it look more like a panther prop than a real panther, still wondering why is it in ukraine, they didn’t even bothered to change the scheme and replaced the balkenkreuz, not a verry convincing decoy. https://old.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/comments/y9baln/german_tanks_finally_in_ukraine_but_theres_a/

This is a very nice kit, btw.

My guess: Scorpion/Scimitar chassis with Soviet/Russian road wheels

Note the similar location of the exhausts

Thanks!
I haven’t looked closely at it
so thanks for the micro review :+1:

Assuming the mock Panther was a film prop, anyone know what films it was in?

It’s based on a ATS-59G medium artillery tractor chassis (which has a mid-mounted engine…)

There are so many different versions, can someone help me identify the tank in the second picture (from top)? Thanks!
