Z (49) TOS-1A (Russia)

The TOS-1A is an improved version of the TOS-1 Soviet developed multiple rocket launcher mounted on a T-72/T-90 tank chassis and capable of using thermobaric warheads. The system was tested in combat during the Soviet-Afghan War in 1988-89. The TOS-1A latest version introduced in 2020 has an extended range of 10 kilometres and a better ballistic computer. It is fitted with a rotating launch system for 24 unguided thermobaric rockets that can all be launched within 6 to 12 seconds.

The 3D printed model is from Zeus Model and is very fine. I just added some detailing on the rear of the launch tubes, some crates and light battle damage.

Z (48) 2S9 Nona (Russia)

The 2S9 Nona is a self-propelled, amphibious and air-droppable 120mm mortar which entered service with the Soviet Army in 1981. It is based on the aluminium hull of the BTR-D airborne multi-purpose tracked armoured personnel carrier. It is operated by a crew of four. The 2S9 utilises a 120mm mortar/howitzer hybrid, a rifled, breech-loaded weapon capable of firing HE, white phosphorus and smoke rounds as well as laser-guided munitions. It can engage in indirect and direct fire as well as targeting armoured vehicle with armour-piercing rounds.

The 3D printed model is from GE Models and is very nice, like their 1V119 Reostat (here) and, like it, is to be manipulated with delicacy, his rolling trains and tracks being particularly fragile. Following some photos, I added a complete cage like protection and some field modifications, a RP-377VM1 jammer, light battle damage and lot of dirt.
