Title: Flak Build - Праща
Post by: Gunbird on 02 March 2012, 10:26:12 AM
This is my entry for the Flak build over at the Guild forum.

Праща (in English: Sling) is a ad-hoc weapon system created by the Serbs in the later part of the Third Balkan War. It is made up by using the gunmount of the M-55 20mm towed AA gun, a welded, adjustable frame with what appears to be a car windshield, 2 hardpoints and 2 AA-8 Aphid short range IR missiles, as seen here:

For my version I've used the base of a RH Models ZPU, brass wire and plasticcard plus the hardpoints and missiles from a old MiG-29 kit.

Gamewise I intend to use this as a Sa-7 in Rapid Fire Moderns. Primeraly meant for Yugoslavia, it might even get some use in the Afrika Big Game later this year.

Great idea! and the painting work is superb as usual (specially the rust effect).

Cheers,

Well done.
Really like the painting.
The white missles contrast well with the beat up look of the mount.

You are so damn productive, to the point where I feel almost a bit stressed. I mean, not only do you crank out models like from a factory, they are well painted as well! :)
