Just a quick update this week - as I promised a few weeks ago to give a general update on the project from each participating nation I'm collecting.
As you would be aware the Soviets took up a lot of my energy last year - and I had hoped to be near the end of finishing the off (as if that's ever going to happen).
But in the meantime I have picked up the odd bit 'n piece and so now have a new pile of Soviet stuff to do.
So here's the pile:
As you can see I have a few more ACE kits including
1 x BMP-1 (yes - another one...)
1 x PRP-3 (kind of counts as yet another BMP-1)
1 x 2S1 Gvozdika - which I think looks really cool
1 x MTLB witha AT-6 missile (but it will be built as a straight MTLB)
1 x ZSU-23 (central in the small plastic bag).
The other 2 bigger plastic bags contain a Mil-8 Hip and a Mil-24 Hind.
All the troops are a variety of Libmin VDV in berets and jump helmets and these go a long way to completing my VDV force (about 15 mini's short now), which in Rapid Fire Modern terms will count as 2 mechanised airborne battalions - which is pretty damn cool!
That's alll for now. Next week an update and WIP on my US forces.
Have fun
Richard
ACE models BMP1 doesn't enjoy the best reputation as a kit. Will you post your progress here or at The Guild?
