Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis


That hurts poor bastards!.. :face_with_head_bandage: …it was more loaded than my grandfather’s Volvo when he used to take all of us grandchildren on vacation to the village in Italy…

somebody please help telling me what vehicle this is?

EDIT: I read thru and found out what it was. Thought it was a M1240A1 at first but a different version.

It’s a International MXT-MV
Ex British vehicle
We call it Husky in the UK

So much improvisation on vehicles we are now seeing. Not sure how effective that dark cam will be on that truck though - doesn’t really break it up much.

Anyone know who/what does the black/red flag represent?

Thanks.

I think that was first time I had seen the flag in this thread. I am sure the flag has been used in other settings during the conflict so it adds more options for modelers.

I too have built an assload of Ruscist vehicles, along with invincible, mask wearing invaders full of piss and vinegar. A few of them are on my Army of Z thread. Pretty big difference between them and the sad sacks we’re seeing now.

I’m thinking of building a Ukrainian vehicle using what I have in the stash.
Probably have to be a MTLB.

@18bravo i suspect that just as with American involvement in Vietnam there will be people saying “don’t let your son be the last Russian to die in Ukraine”.

@Dan i’d like to see someone building one of those.
