Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis


What’s the story on this? Captured, knocked out? Is that extra armor plate on the turret? What tank is that?

A hapless attempt at protecting a T-62M. The rear portion is the raised engine deck. Not sure what that other “armor” is.

those look a lot like grain stores which considering the amount of wheat and stuff that’s grown in Ukraine would make sense! ,their a huge building with more than enough space for vehicles and workshops!
this is inside a modern one but older ones from when i was a kid looked very similar to the ones in the photos!
(Edit , definitely a grain store ,if you zoom the first image you can see the floors covered in grain and its sqaushed in to the rubber track blocks on the spg!)

Looks like a MTLB with some sort of shielded weapons station. This one looks to have a tarp over the machine gun.

There was another kit I came across with red cross and fork in it. Looks like changing decals is going to be the thing this year.

Amazon is selling the Academy Bradleys at $79 that used to be $39 just a year ago.

It’s a Ukrainian-built turret, fitted with a DShK machine-gun

Changing decals is not enough. I hope they, and all the others which will follow, know.

They are a start, but need a bit added/deleted/changed on them to become M2A2 ODS SA Bradleys like the ones going to Ukraine. I am still waiting to see pics of them on the battlefield.
