New icon series: Russian AFVs

[PlasmaKrab]

Hi everyone,

Here is a preview of a new icon series, including variants of the BRDM-2, BTR-60/70/80/90 and BMP-1/2/3 Soviet/Russian AFVs.
I felt the original ones were getting a bit old, wanted a fresh base for new non-historic variants, and got a bit carried away...

I'm currently working on camo versions, if anyone finds some versions that can be added to the pack, I'll be happy to consider.



Edit: for some reason the attachment won't work, so please use the text link above to get the full .zip pack.

Can you give us a closer look of that?

[Sarunas]

Yea, the attachment gives a 404 error.

[PlasmaKrab]

Sorry about that, I just worked it around. Use the link in the first post to get the full pack.

Why not try Object 775:

Isn't this one based on the T-64? If so that series is not on my drawing board yet, and I bet someone else will come up with it before me. Now Mark, if you have good drawings of the experimental pre-BMP-3 projects (Objekt 685 and 688 IIRC) that may be of some interest.

And before the non-Russians start jumping up and down, may I add I'll also give a shot to those custom mods I can find (OT-90, BVP-1MB, MLI-84M, YW-506, BTR-94...). There again, if you can think of some that I have forgotten and that can be of some interest in the OOBs , let me know

Hello Plasma,

Always impressed by your work.

Talking about Russian AFVs, here is what I have on the bench.
1. BMP-1
2. BMP-2
3. BMP-2E (or D? not to sure)
4. PRP-3
5. BRM-1
6. ZSU-23-4M
7. T-80B with KMT-5
8. T-80U
9. T-80BV with KMT-6
10. T-80UD
11. T-80UK
12. Ka-50
13. Ka-52
By the way after making some T-80 versions, I'was working on the T-64 series. There seems to be some commonalities between the two especially the T-80U and T-64B engine deck but I'm not to sure about this. The T-80 chassis seems to be wider and longer tough.

LOL...this is kinda funny. How we have so many others working on this stuff. I'll post my T-64 set preview, that isn't even close to done yet, but all the basic models are covered.

What you have here Pierre is pretty darn good. Good Work.

Pierre,

These icons of yours are great. I particularly like the ZSU, it's a definitive improvement. Regarding the Kamov helicopters, have you noticed the ones I have uploaded a while ago, that Don has included in the v3.5 release?
