Mark Deliduka Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Happy New Year everyone! I posted already the completed Russian Glider in the Aircraft Forums already. Now here are the other models I finished, all vehicles and all Russian! To start, I finished two more Aerosans for the game I plan on doing. Here are the two 1/72 scale RS-8 GAZ 98K Aerosans by ACE: Moving on, I was able to get some armor done as well. This first armor one is the Modelcollect 1/72 scale Russian BMP-3 Early model APC: Next is another APC, this time the Zvezda 1/72 scale T-15 Armata APC: That APC was developed from the hull, suspension ans engine of the T-14 Armata main battle tank. Finally another Zvezda 1/72 scale kit of the BMPT Terminator AA and AT vehicle: Now I can move on to all seven of the big Russian eight wheeled trucks I've been doing. First is the most colorful one. This is the A&A Models Russian AA-60 Airfield Fire Truck and Rescue vehicle: Next up is Modelcollect's 1/72 scale Russian 9K728 Iskandar K cruise missile truck: Now Modelcollect's 1/72 scale KZKT 7930 Heavy Cargo Truck: Now the Modelcollect 1/72 scale MAZ 7411 Heavy Cargo Truck: Another MAZ truck; the Modelcollect 1/72 scale Russian 56K6E 'Baikal' Air Defense Command Post: A Third MAZ truck, the Modelcollect 1/72 scale Russian A-222 130mm Coastal Defense Gun 'Bereg': And the final MAZ truck is the Modelcollect 1/72 scale MAZ 7410 Tractor with the CHMZAP-9990 Trailer: And here it is with a load. It isn't the load that comes with the model; I still have to build that. It shouldn't be long, but at least this truck is done: And that completes my listing of the first models I completed for this new year. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonL Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Incredible! Nice work on a bunch of very cool subjects. To paraphrase that old Army ad: "You build more models before 09 JAN than I'll do all year." And then Cold War logic kicks in...to counter all of this high-end conventional production, I'll need something nuclear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Duke, You are something else. You are a perfect example of one who really enjoys our hobby. And all those trucks would seem to be based on the same frame. Russian frugality at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted January 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thanks Bob! As for the Cold War logic, there's at least one nuclear delivery capable vehicle in that collection up there....😉😎 Thanks again for the great comment! Ron, thanks! Part of the reason I did all of those trucks at the same time was because of the repetitive nature of assembling the same chassis and suspension over and over. I just wanted to get all those chassis and suspensions done and everything else just fell into place. Thank you again for the compliment too. I do enjoy this Hobby!

Bennetts Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Great work. I like the red stripes on the RF-8 sleds. I have never seen that before, was it based on a photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted January 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Thank you Rick. Yes, there are some pics with these sleds having the red strips. Apparently even with the guards, people were getting hit by those props so they added the safety stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennetts Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 That is great I have a 1/35 kit so now I need to build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Sweet Rick! I never knew they had a 1/35th scale model of this. Please do build it; I'd love to see it built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennetts Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Trumpeter made a nice kit in 1/35, and Jaguar made one in resin a few years ago. I received some Russian magazines back in the late 70's early 80's that had plans and an article about the RF8 Aerosan. I did a scratch-build of the vehicle back then that is long gone from my display case. If I remember correctly I did an article with plan drawings back then for what was then called the IPMS Quarterly. Age does not make for good memory! I do want to build the Trumpeter kit now after seeing yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted January 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Excellent. I look forward to seeing your Aerosan built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill50 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 You have built more kits in 2020 than I have since 2018. I applaud your dedication to building. Great work on them all, Duke. Keep it up. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thanks for the fantastic compliment Bill! I do hope to pick up the pace a bit. I feel like I'm falling behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked yours with the red warning marks so did something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
