I was thinking about the SS-25 Topol launcher - I realised that the Zvezda has only 14 wheels!

However, the Trumpeter renders & recent pics show that this is a different version ( longer? ) with 16 wheels...............

I surprised me to find that the British Army operate C-RAM in Afghanistan, there is footage of them firing..................
It's based on the Phalanx 20mm CIWS, but how it's transported ( at least in the British Army ) I can't find information!

May as well buy a photo frame an take the glass from that... pending the frame size you have a surrounding for a diorama!

Dear Dave, your efforts as Urger-in-Chief are very effective. Backorder for an ICM Cessna Skymaster just submitted. Should be an interesting build. Thanks for the heads-up.
