Thanks for the excellent service! Under two weeks is very good going

Thanks for the kind words. I am glad that you liked the models.
It will be interesting to see the photos repainted cars.

If will need some help to find variants of coloring - ask.

Whilst not Checknya, the below thread covers the very similar Ukrainian vehicles:

Only difference is the Ukrainians are probably using more actual armour and Mitsubishis.

There is some difference.

Russian in Chechnya was the need to protect the truck convoys from attack by Chechen guerrillas in the mountains. Therefore was are armored standard army vehicles. Chechens improvised military equipment to almost never used.
In Ukraine, a war fought mainly irregular forces on both sides (in the initial period) so they had little real military equipment, and they have booked and armed any suitable vehicles.

Got the package, very quick postage and i just painted up so far 3, very easy to paint, i put the Russian colour on the side of the vehicles as i saw they did this in the Chechen wars on Youtube.

The tram again very simple to paint and i added weathering effect to bring it more to life, very happy with everything that was sent and will be beginning on the four trucks next, will get them up as soon as they are painted, sorry for the poor quality photos, very rushed and i don't think i cleaned the lens.

Congratulations! These models look great.

By the way. Signal lights on the roof of vehicles is better to remove. They are characteristic more for the police or other official vehicles. In the army, such lights has only the military police.

Those look really nice, any chance of a pic with some minis next to the vehicles?

Cuprum, is there any chance for you finding a GAZ Tigr in the roughly 1/55 range? Also any modern Chinese PLA vehicles in that rough scale would be awesome. I am putting together some near future PMCs and would love some options.

As far as I know you can only buy Gaz-Tigrs in 1/43rd scale. De Agostini make one, the others are passable toys you can find on Ebay. Bit big though. Pity diecasts are 1/43rd instead of 1/50th (1/55's a bit titchy IMHO).

Though in a smaller scale you're more likely to find Ultra Modern Western Jeeps.

In the catalog of "Technopark" (manufacturer of these model cars) for that year declared a model of an armored car GAZ "Tiger" on the scale of 1/50. But I have not seen this model in the market.

Chinese cars models I have not seen. But the Chinese, as far as I know, using "Humvee".
