My first Z post, back in May 2022, was the Gaz Tigr-M from ACE (here). Nearly 3 years and 54 builds later, here I'm with another try at this vehicle. This time it's the RPG version with the Arbalet combat module, a very nice little model. I added a RP-377VM1 radio fuze jammer from an unknown Chinese brand, some improvised armor and recovery cable at the front and opened the driver window.
Finally added a crew figure to my ACE Tigr-M made in May 2022 (here) 😎 The figure is a composite of a ModelCollect body and an Alex Miniature head.
Not Cold War, not Soviet... but close, Russian. A digression from my fetish modelling period because I like building and painting kits, Soviet or Russian preferably because I like the look of their vehicles. Just because this unfortunate conflict gives me a pretext to tackle a whole host of newer vehicles. Just for aesthetics and without politics.
First try: ACE Gaz Tigr-M
A very nice kit, not free from some fitment issues as usual with ACE (but the progress in recent years is huge). The kit allows to realize the initial version STS, and the current reinforced version Tigr-M. I intend to build more of them because there are a large number of versions and tempting terrain adaptations. Too bad that ACE or a aftermarket brand does not offer us (yet) the versions equipped with the Arbalet-DM remote control weapons station or the new one with the 30mm gun.
