Warsaw Pact Vismods
« on: April 07, 2015, 08:29:17 AM »
Came across this in my wanderings through the interwebby.

It really shouldn't come as a surprise but I've never seen photos of Soviet bloc vehicles mocked up to look like their NATO counterparts. There was a long running myth that the East Germans had a battalion's worth of M-48 and M113 obtained from Vietnam for a Skorzeny like black operation but there doesn't seem any evidence to support it.

Anyway, for folk who wish to be creative in their cold war scenarios and fancy modifying a plastic T-34 or an ISU-2, here are some useful visual references.*



" I doubt they were intended for this purpose merely as training aids but hey there's nothing to say it couldn't happen.
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

Thanks for sharing. Pretty cool idea just the same.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
