Good looking Shilkas.

Fifty years on they still look like something from Sci-Fi. Admittedly it's 1970 era UFO type sci-fi but sci-fi none the less.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Indeed, the Shilka turret has that Star Wars Original Trilogy look :) In Afghanistan the Soviets removed the radar to store more ammo for convoy escort, that way it really looked like an UFO.
As for most cold war era MN tech, it is hard to catch one with proper markings. The numbers were painted (if they were) on that turret side panel, which is really hard to replicate on the overdone surface features of the 1/100 model. I tried my best.
I also have one Hungarian Shilka in 1/35, an old Dragon model. This one I built without tactical numbers.

Lovely project! Great to see how you gave the army a distinctive Hungarian look.

Thank you! Being a long-time collector of the topic in 1/35, I also have a lot of source material for the painting schemes.

Thank you guys! I do not plan to go throught the entire Soviet artillery flora (Tulpan heavy mortar, etc :) as only these two SPGs were used in the Hungarian Peoples Army. I finally managed to put my hands onto an Iraqi card set for the game, now I can properly use the "old" T-55s (they do not have Soviet cards) and introduce the ZU-57-2 too.
