Title: Cartel brand new armour.
Post by: chrisonord on February 21, 2016, 11:00:19 AM
The Nicaraguan cartel as well as buying museum pieces and pressing them back into service, have also been splashing out on new Russian armour. These new examples being an unknown number of T-90 a's and TOS 1 heavy Thermobaric rocket launchers. Upon hearing of this acquisition the Honduras army chiefs nearly choked on their cigars. The most modern tanks they had were German Leopard II's, of which they had only a small number of, and a similar number of Merkava II and III's. Their large number of AMX 30's got a severe hammering during several skirmishes with cartel T-80 and T-70's, and now there is a large gap in the Honduras front line armour.

Thanks for the comments guy's, I haven't lost the knack of painting at least, The kits were nice to build also, both being the model collect kits in 1/72nd scale. I can recommend their kits to anyone.
Cheers
Chris

"now there is a large gap in the Honduras front line"


Big enough to drive a tank through?
