You all know these have hit the market by now & that its an irresistible force not to have one, especially at AUD$84 & using Payapl-in-4 to further reduce the domestic front's counteroffensives !
Checking accuracy, the rocket tubes are too small in diameter. A 122mm rocket is 7.62mm in diameter & the tube I.D. on the model are only 4.9mm.
The rest is oooooookkkkkkkkish for 16th scale, borderline 17th scale if Im picky.
Hardpoints are in place for those that have the acumen to run a smart control board, but not this kid.
The driveline is all plastic but that can be replaced in bits once I figure out where they come from !
Headlights work, not switchable, no tail lights but you get nice stickers instead !

Righto, into it

Heres the theme .......................Note the windscreen slat wooden armour/bullet or fragment protection.

Herman!
Good Morning! That Photo shows a likely looking Suspect! How did they flatten those tires? Mine? As far as elevating and turning that launcher, the small board and servo setup for the Torro M16 would do it, I reckon. Torro does have the parts for those Halftracks on sell separately. I think Anyway, Happy Friday!

This photo is from the beginning of the war, when the Russians were primarily afraid of hand-held grenade launchers (hence these makeshift armour). Today, most of the Grads have been destroyed, and mostly drones are used as artillery.

This will be a representation of the idea of Grad-in Action.............cheap & cheerful, rough, muddy, and some sort of extra armour !

The pic with the Shotgun wielding rider is current as at 6th November.

The one with the camo net on the bonnet & slogan loosely translates into : this Cutie is wounded not dead." Going by the roof damage its been into mischief !!

And in the words of the FIFA President..................

Today?............I feel primer'd.................

Yep, couldnt help myself.

Could be a bit of classic Russian/Soviet colour variation on this 'Putins Organ" ( )that is certainly plausible.
Some with patches of camo, some almost khaki, some all green , most with mud, all with plenty of character

Looking good so far mate and following along

Bix, I see from the photos of the BM21 in primer that yours will actually date back to the RED ARMY.
