I don’t have any special passion for mine-clearing vehicles, but this one simply looked cool. A massive hull completely covered in reactive armor, it looked like a giant brick covered in small bricks! Also, the fact that it was a relatively new kit from Meng meant the model would go together without any issues and would be overall a very fun experience. Combined with the fact that I had a set of unused Friulmodel tracks in my stash, it was just a perfect combination.

My idea was to make it look as if the vehicle itself was rather new while the mine roller was much older and already saw some heavy use. When I realize that I finished this model in early 2021, it just goes to show how impossible it is to predict where these vehicles would be just a year later.
