Nice Idea for a model. If you wondering what matkings on Russian AFVs mean:
Z - Eastern forces
Z in square - forces from Crimea
O - forces from Belarus
V - Marines
X - Chechens
A - Special Forces

Not sure about you guys, but Im not going to be keen enough to put racing stripes on my MBT model !!

Looks like they are somewhat uniformed in some units but still looks like garden pergola.

That looks more like a roof rack than serious defensive armour . I'm not sure how much use that would be against a javelin missile or an old fashioned molotov. It looks to me as useful as an umbrella in a hurricane. BTW I wonder if the Z is the new bullseye on target practice ranges?

Agree. Way too weak. This one below seen on Twitter is actually embarrassing.
And that farmer who's pulling home a Russian SA-8 Gecko... priceless.

I saw a video a few days ago, the caption was 'Ukranian gypsy steals Russian tank', and showed a tank being towed backwards down the road by a tractor.

As a model those are cool idea but in reality - death traps. Dhose two were destroyed / captured yestarday:

They don't look damaged, possibly they ran out of fuel (seems they have a problem with this) or the crews decided 'screw this for a game of soldiers' and wandered off to surrender. From what I have gleaned from the truth/propaganda/lies the whole war doesn't seem to be going down well with the conscripts.

Camouflage so they can sit in the middle of a road

Looks like their reactive armour is made of shoeboxes sprayed green. Easy to model.
