So democratic! Much liberation!
Great photos dude. Where did you get the vehicles from?

Great photos.
Love the third photo.
Guys (officers) looking over their troops.
I wonder what they are thinking?
Could you please give a run down on the trucks?

Thank you for your comments. It makes it worthwhile to keep posting here!

The vehicles are (first to last):

- A diecast BTR-80 scale 1:48(?)(you can buy it on aliexpress or ebay).
- 2 chineese copied UNIMOGs found in flea markets.
- Matchbox UNIMOG (the original from the 60:s)
- Ford pickup bought from swedish toy store.

I have repainted them and applied heavy mud layers.
The M40 and Type 63 are scratch built.

Great mud effect there.

As you can see the second and third vehicle have more mud than the rest. They are the last ones I painted and I realised that more mud looked even better. Do you agree?

Nice tanks.
Are they die cast from China?
They look like some I have.
