Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

Interesting location to pixelate on the Mi-8/17.

The pixelation is probably the squadron mascot or logo.
I like the gyro-cam if that’s what it is. But how dare anyone post that image. It has nothing to do with modeling or armor. Although it may have the cheek armor - it’s hard to tell…

The gyro cam looks to be a flir system. It does appear to have cheek armor.

because its fun to watch it in action.

That would be a fairly easy conversion to do from Zvezda’s UAZ kit I posted a while back. You wouldn’t even have to be that careful with the rear panel from the looks of the picture!! I’m sure someone does PKM’s for the armament.

I guess it could be the very same UAZ . In both cases, the air vent near the passenger door has been taped over…

Another option for the UAZ . The M60 should be easy to find :wink:

Wandering what the lad on the left has in his hand, double headed tourch,!!. And the other guy has big feet

Night vision binoculars ? :thinking:

I guess the big feet are an optical trick caused by the camera lens. (or maybe this guy is an ex-clown…)
