This was my most ambitious, most detailed, and realistic model at the time. I can’t even quantify how much time and effort went into the research, construction, and paint job. I spent many hours watching Syrian combat GoPro footage to gather as much reference and inspiration for this model.

I ended up cannibalizing both Tamiya and Trumpeter kits to get the best of both worlds. A resin turret was used to convert the tank into the Ural version. The rebar cage armor was a real undertaking, but it was so worth the effort!

Sadly, this model didn’t survive a trip home from a model show. It was my most detailed and fragile model, and as such, it got damaged beyond repair.
