Very interesting project...I'll be follow...Goodluck..

So...what's it like? What is the quality and what are the barrels like? Enquiring minds would like to know LOL. Ryan

Good day,
themolding is crisp no bubbles or mold marks the fir on the hulland thurret is tight. The instructions are terrable this isnot a begineers kit as for barells I wwh=ish they were in brass, nothing wrong with the ones in the kit, will have to drill them out tho. the missle launch tubes are caped like the original. it would have been nice to see one open with a missle. all hatches are molded in and access panels.I may try to open a couple of the bigger to get to the aux turbine. a little history the Tunguska was replacement to the ZSU-23-4 He carried a total of 8 SA19 missles and 2 30mm cannon with muzzle velociy reference system to predict the balistic path. this was designed to be an a-10 killer or a helocoptor. the sa-19 was fired first folllowed buy a burst of 30 mm. I know we ran into some in Iraq, and they were left in a burning pile, but still ita is a nasty wepon system. I plan on starting on this soon right now i am trying to get my perminate social security, its a shame you have to hire a lawyer to get something you piad for all of your life. I worked 36 years and paid into the system every week and now that I need it, its a fight. it should be simple fill out paperwork dr sign it and your done, but I have a good attorney and a good case, 4 back surgerys, my back is is fused fron f2 to s1. well off my soap box. as I staart this build I will take lots of pictures. Wait till you see whats comeing next week, a P-40 Long Track from Panzershop
If you have any more questions Illl try to answer. dont know what color to paint yet, for the most part Soviets painted every thing a dark green and i use tamiya X-27, or X 61 any help on the paint would be apprecited.
please excuse my spelling the meds I take, some time the brain doesnt work right.
Have a good day

Howdy,
I want one bad! Actually all the one's I've seen are a camo. I have images of parade vehicles all green, but most are camo. If you need any images, let me know. I could burn you a CD with them. Let me know and keep up the good work.
PS. Don't let the "man" get you down. Hell, Iam 37, there won't be any SS when I'll need it. Ryan

I have several good walk around in camo and green, You tube has a couple good videos of this beast in action. if the goverment let SS fail Washington would burn. though no raise this year a $250 check to keep us from rioting,
