I've managed to get a few evenings' worth of drawings done, so I should be able to run some test prints over the weekend. So far I've got:

• PKT ammo drum:

..............oh, and

No, no Vodka bottle= no Russian tank

For general information on colors...
A lot of copies are broken in a dispute about which color is CORRECT

[Pavel]

The original box for the machine gun ....

[Pavel]

Vodka, wine, beer are in principle prohibited.
It is a myth!

All of those were pretty much prohibited in Iraq and Afghanistan for US troops, but that doesn't mean they weren't present in small quantities. Where there is a will...there is a way.

[Pavel]

Maybe they were drinking...

The original box for the machine gun ....

Ah, I see. I'd seen NSVTs on T-72s with DShK drums, but they obviously made new ones at some point. Oops! Thank you for the correction, I'll make some of those as well. Herman, can you give me the dimensions of the drum on your machine gun so I can make sure that they match?

On that note, an ammo crate for a 125 mm round:

• herman_box_2A46.png

28mm long(off the receiver)the lid is 1.5mm longer overhang.
10mm wide
16mm high
But those dimensions are very nominal !
That 125mm crate is immaculate..............

Here you can see the details of the fittings...

And again about what color the box is, your choice is multifaceted ...
Soviet - "green" - this is what kind of paint they brought to the factory ... Not red means it's already good
