Yes possibly but next up will be a MBT in the spring. T99.

Worth noting is that the back and front sections can be placed in the 'open' positions.

Cheers,
Paul
Looking forward to seeing this also.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

You just have to love these cammo paint jobs. Certainly bring some colour to the modern battlefield.

Then there's the pixelated camo versions. Even with masking tape and a air brush it would be a nightmare. Might be a an opportunity for an enterprising manufacturer of decals though.....
Em dezembro de '81
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

Maybe do one up in cloud camo!



More pixels!



You really can do whatever you want with Chinese vehicles/infantry.  If you make it up..someone probably wears it.  I've seen garish orange/speckled camo etc.

Its like they learned camouflage from the Space Marines.

WHY????

State Factory 7066 had an over run of material for children's duvet and pillow sets that year. The Thomas the Tank Engine Paratroop unit and Hello Kitty engineer battalion were arguably the losers in this scenario. :)

The orange camo IIRC is one used by rural firefighters. The Chinese are by no means unique in that btw.

They wear way too many helmets for that though..but I'd like to see them adopt chainsaws and swords!

I thought Chinese would be relatively easy pick colours for. I'm totally confused now ;D

Outside of the silliness...you really can paint them any colours you wish.  I'd imagine someone, somewhere knows precisely which units these are and who wears what, but the possibilities are pretty limitless.

With a gigantic territory, millions of soldiers, hundreds of different organizations, militias, etc.

Lately it does appear that the main forces of the PLA are heading in the direction of somewhat standardized digital-pattern camouflage, in a couple of different colour palettes.



PS: If you want white-walled tires..how about white-walled tank road wheels?  Super.  Gangster.

The white-wall gangsta look is only for the parades. I guess they adapted the practise from the good old USSR.

edit: next Empress release?
