Childhood exposure to a Dinky SHADO mobile may be involved in design decisions.

Funnily enough, a couple of days ago the Complete remastered box set of UFO arrived

Which one were you most excited about Kit?  Blue Cheese Salad Dressing?
 

The thing with this build is I can pose it with additional loads...

...this one is a 1/24 fridge I scratched up a while ago, originally for a Land Cruiser.

Is that the bio hazard container for the Vegemite/Beer/Blue Cheese salad dressing?

After spending time with Google Translate and Wikipedia I have decide on the name,

T-72 Perevozchik  (Перевозчик = carrier or transporter).

[zenrat]

Running out of time.  The prime mover is finished but I am still hopeful about having at least one load on it in photos.

I am painting the camper body which is progressing but I also need to sort out the windows which need curtains on the inside to hide the fact there is no interior (I don't want to just paint them black).

The other load is mostly assembled and painted.  I have broken out the real rust effect paint for parts of the load frame.  This morning I scratched up end plates for the tank (a magnesium supplement bottle) complete with bolts, breather, pressure relief valve, fill/empty ports, and access/cleaning plate.

Of the two it is most likely the second load is the one I will finish by St Val's Day.  But it's not certain.

The prime mover is finished, the Camper body is still needing a reasonable amount of work, but while the "big tank" needs the weathering fettling and some signage it's good enough to post here.

T-72 Perevozchik.

Developed from the T-72 battle tank the Perevozchik (Transporter) was an unarmoured tracked prime mover intended for logistics operations in the rear echelon.

Here it is carrying a bulk liquids tank.  It is unmarked but the size and configuration of vents, ports and valves strongly suggests it is a bioweapons culture/transit module.

Very good Fred. 

I think I'd head VERY fast in the opposite direction if I saw one of them coming over the horizon!

And there's me thinking it was being used to transport vodka

Some Russian vodka IS a bioweapon!


And another very good build, mate!

I can see the Herefordshire Hussars using it as a cider tanker...............either for their own ration cider or as  a means of rendering any opposition legless.

What a great idea this is! Love the stylish front vs the industrial looks of the T-72. Those tanks in the rear are a nice touch.

Well done!
