You could even build another one, fitted with a BTR-80A turret

Definitely. Rye Field does the M1240A1 M-ATV.

Combine the two and you have what is pictured.

Welcome to the forum!
Yes, you can. As Frenchy posted, you are limited only by your imagination.
And depending on your budget and level of AMS, you have four M-ATV kits to choose from in 1/35.
The Kinetic offering suffers from a few scale issues but still builds up into a nice looking model,

Do you know which country this is from?
Thanks

I/m guessing they are ISIS vehicles from Iraq and Syria.

Thanks, I noticed one Joe is wearing a black head dress.

Here’s a caption I’ve found

Resistance faction HASM Battalion and rebel groups in Yemen uses captured Oshkosh M-ATV vehicles of Saudi Arabian Army fitted with Russian BTR-80A turret and ZU-23-2 23mm anti-aircraft twin-barreled automatic cannon.

Wellcome, great subject!
I’m fond of this weird improvised techs. Besides their catching appearance they often hide interesting stories of military equipment smuggling or international relationships. I have posted a couple pick ups recently and I am building a dumper with a T-62 turret on top of it.
Will wait to see your project taking shape.
Cheers

The kit comes with options to build the following guns:

ZPU-1
ZPU-2
ZPU-4
ZSU-23-2

The set even offers different barrel shrouds on the weapons to replicate either the Soviet/Russian or Chinese versions.

Those photos look familiar. I probably got them from you/you posted them last year on kitmaker. :+1:

Someone did build this version as posted in the thread above. I haven’t got any further than a thought but already have both kits (Meng AA kit).

Welcome aboard. Interested in seeing the project if you give it a go.
