I never believed that I would ever get to post this and say that it is finished, but here it is, finally completed after a long hard fight. Here is my first armor/vehicle completed in December.

This is the armory 1/72 scale Russian ZSU-23-4 Shilka anti-aircraft vehicle. My Russian Army has finally taken delivery two days ago:

Thank you for looking in, comments are always welcome. Stay tuned, I have a few more easier vehicles are approaching the finish line so more may be done before the end of the year.

It was a long hard fight so if you do one, do it in 1/35th scale. Even a MiniArt kit would be far better and easier to build!! Thank you Bert!

One is the old Dragon kit and a newer one from Hong Model
