Magic Factory 1/35 MRZR D4 Ultra-light Tactical All-terrain Vehicle

They're both looking great, Frank!

They are indeed

Are you sure you couldn't squeeze in another MG or two? It seems a bit under-gunned...  

Yeah, it's a ridiculous number of weapons. But I guess it keeps the Marines busy.

A Busy Marine Is A Marine Staying Out Of Trouble. (This applies to other Services also.)
Unless they're busy causing trouble, of course.

I wonder about the longevity of those things, with all the weight of Beef/Weaponry/Ordnance. But there again, it's a combat vehicle, so that'll be the last of its' worries.

Rick you needn't worry about the strength side of these little beasts.
Unlike the civilian types these have upgraded everything..suspension...steering..weld joints ..even seat belts and their mounting points .
About the only things it shares with the civilian machines are the wheels and tyres .
The weapons and weapons mounts are optional extras on civilian models 😀

Good to know, with the Harms' Way they need top get into and out of.

Ideal for Possum/Goat/Deer shooting, then!

Those are all lightweights.  Pigs would be more of a challenge.

True - I had forgotten them. And with hogs, something belt-fed would be a definite advantage!

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Hopefully, not a train...

Stgna-P from the ICM kit. I added some of the visible cabling and some carry handles made from tape. The ammo box in the cargo area was shortened - the original box would have fit except for the equipment box on the left side:



Here's another look at the Stugna-P. The cable is 30AWG wire wrap wire. The display is from a decal sheet i made a while ago:



This is the temporarily headless crew from the ICM kit. They still need some cleanup. The Javelin is a resin kit from DANmodels. I may try some Ukrainian decals on the figures:





I used a dichroic film on the IR sensor. The effect is sort of visible here:

Awesome Frank 👌 😍

Does that Javelin come with the targeting unit ?
That's just a transport/launch tube .

[NARSES2]

Looking good

No, sadly. I wanted to use these up since they're only the tube. I have another complete weapon in resin and a couple from the Magic Factory NATO weapons set.

Well not a problem..these little beasts work in groups ..scout units and tank hunters ..yours is just carrying a spare missile

I think I'm done with this. No, I know I'm done with this build!

Tank Hunting in Crimea - in search of the last few mobile Russian tanks:



I really ran out of steam with the figures. I used a Ukranian digital uniform camo decal that worked OK, but just couldn't get motivated to fully paint and detail them. The figures are from the ICM Stugna-P set and are basically OOB except for the arm bands. The Javelin is from the Magic Factory NATO weapons set:









Yes, that's an AT-4 anti-tank weapon haphazardly tossed in the front passenger's area. This is based in part on some videos I've seen from an American fighting in Ukraine -  he's the gunner in a HMMWV and in some of his videos he's firing off AT4s that are just rolling around in his turret.

I'm glad to finally finish these two vehicles. Now I'll clean up my work bench and take a break before I tackle another project. Thanks for looking and commenting!

[Wardukw]

Bloody beautiful mate 👌 😍
When ya don't want to go ..the paint won't flow..mojo buddy ..lost it many times figure painting ..still tho..looks fecking great from where I'm sitting with my feet up 

[Rick Lowe]

Looks good to me, too.
And you can always revisit the figures later.
