That cammo is easier to paint than DPM.

Ash asked when the GPMG and 30 Cal pack would be back in stock and it now is.

No plans to but its an idea as they could also be used in helicopters etc.

Todays questions is;

If we were going to do a T64 to fit into the Cold War 1970's - 1980's European front what mark version should we do ?

[carlos marighela]

Definitely the T-64A. With a bit of thought in the design you could include the gill armour, the rubberised fabric side skirts, the various turret stowage bins and smoke dischargers as separate parts and allow your customers to create the version or update they wish.

If you went with one of the reactive armour variants you would be putting it out of a significant portion of the desired time frame.

I would highly recommend the Zaloga authored Osprey on the T-64, it’s very good.

Got the book so will sit down for a read ASAP

I would say the B without the ERA block, based on the aforementioned book it appears to be the most common version in GFSG.

Another question  ref the British issue Milan circa 1980.

There are details regarding a cooling device for the Milan thermal imaging sight. However the details are pretty rare to find and I wondered if it was something that came out originally but rapidly disappeared as not worth the hassle.

Does anyone know??

[carlos marighela]

I don’t save for the fact that MIRA like many other thermal systems uses an inert gas bottle system to cool the sight.

If you are looking for photos, I think you’ll find this is useful:

Will have a look.

Got the details we were after. For the reference the links above are not the Brit MILAN which is different. 

[carlos marighela]

Presumably they used the AC Milan?
