Very nice and charming set.
Original subject too, never done in 1/72 before.
It just needs a truck and we finally got mobile Russian AA.
Good work Haron :thumbup:
Looking forward to the dshk set!
(with wintercrew perhaps?)

Strange there's one not on a base?

But they look very well sculpted :thumbup:

Hey what a great step ahead!

Orion´s Figures are getting better and better. No comparison to the older sets.

It will be very simple conversion. You need only a truck.

Or you can buy this:

Awesome stuff mate. Looks like the Soviet forces gain significant attention this time. Zwevda's new sets coupled with these will make a highly complete Soviet Army that we once had difficulty building.

Glad you shared it with us and this is definitely in the acquisition list. Pertaining acquisition, anyone out there living in UK? I have purchased the HAT's 75 mm Gun with Late French Crew from Model Hobbies in UK but they have not delivered them to me but had charged me for it. My constant e mails to them are unheeded. Anyone has an advice on how should I proceed?

Not another Model Hobbies compliant!

The gist I have picked up from this thread and others is that they do eventually deliver - eventually.
