From TimG - 1S12 ‘Long Track’ radar
Bit of a cheek this - a whole post just for one 1/285 scale model! But it is a big ‘un. The 1S12 (NATO reporting name ‘Long Track’) was the target acquisition radar for the SA-4 Krug AA missile system. But far more importantly it looks pretty damn cool. This is a C in C model and came in five parts. If it looks a bit squint that’s because I dropped the damned thing on the floor during painting. The (acrylic) paint is Humbrol Grass Green over a black undercoat, painted over with a wash of water with a tiny bit of black in it, a drybush of Vallejo light mud and finally a scoosh of matt spray varnish.

Cheeky or not it’s impressive even at 6mm. I do want to see a 1:35 scale version in a Little Cold wars game.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't like to try and get that through a Maccy D's drive through 😂

ReplyDeleteIt’s quite big enough in 1/285!
Looks great, like something from the 1970s TV series UFO!

Those 1980s missile radars sure look sinister! That's a great addition for the table, well done.

ReplyDeleteIt does have that look to it!

ReplyDeleteSinister is a good look for the Cold War.
I bet they get ALL the sports channels in that thing. Awesome mini Tim. C in C stuff is great to work on, but you can't have butter fingers (or poor eyesight!).
ReplyDeleteIt does look good. Nice little period AFV.
