Hi

inspired by their constant presence on the news...

Meng pickup - obviously a T*yota - with Russian ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun

I like the weathering!! As Paul says, nice job.

Thanks folks - the weathering was done with a mix of chipping fluid on the wheels and table salt on the bigger panels - the flag is green-stuff putty

Hi Mark,
Great to see one of these built up and you’ve made a great job of it...looks nice:thumb2:

Si - it's two kits - the pickup is from the two-vehicle Meng kit which also comes with a 4-door pickup and the gun is from the Meng set of 4 different Russian AA guns ( ZPU-1, ZPU-2, ZPU-4 and the ZU-23-2 used here)

The other pickup is a bit more tongue-in-cheek....

My bad, I thought Meng released it all as one kit. Like the other pick up scene....taxi!! Lol

I think Meng do a kit with pickup & AA gun but I couldn't find it - The zombies are MasterBox "zombieland" series - the driver is the motorcycle rider in the set converted
