What a splendid job - well done!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

By way of comparison:

Malkara:
Body diameter: 8 in
Wingspan: 2 ft 7 in
Length: 6 ft 3 in
Weight: 206 lb

Sparrow III:
Body diameter: 8 in
Wingspan: 2 ft 8 in
Length: 12 ft
Weight: 510 lb

So a Malkara was, in space and handling terms, a half-length Sparrow!

SS-11 (contemporary French ATGW with the same range, penetration and guidance):
Body diameter: 6.5 in
Wingspan: 1 ft 8 in
Length: 3 ft 11 in
Weight: 66 lb

Not hard to see why SS-11 outsold Malkara by 18,000%....

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I'd be very happy, it looks fantastic & spot-on for the period, mate! :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :mellow:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Great build. I came across a YouTube video about the Malkara a day or so ago and it's rival, Green William.



Looking at some of the subjects that the Armoured Archives channel cover, there is a lot of potential for whiff builds

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
