it’s been a while since i made a dio. i have made 4 dios all of which were modern US armor with desert settings. too bad i cant post pictures since i didn’t get any & i can’t get one since i left them back in the Philippines. anyway, a few days ago i stumbled into an old magazine with pictures of the conflict in Chechnya. suddenly i had this idea of making a Russian armor dio with the setting in Chechnya. now the problem is, i really don’t know much about Russian armor. maybe you guys could help me out with websites or anything that i could use as reference.[:I] i’d really appreciate it.[:o)]

Good Soviet stuff here.
This deals w/ Russian weaponry in the Chechen conflict, click on the Tanks link on the left side for several pages of pics -
And you can go here for more armor pics -

The text is in Russian (or Ukrainian), but another useful one is -
http://armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/Modern/
Go to www.missing-lynx.com and look under “think tank” or check out www.hyperscale.com and do a search for their reference pictures. Both sites have some fantastic pictures of russian equipment, both destroyed and still in service. If you can find it, the Concord book T-72/T-90 has good pictures of knocked out T-72’s.
many thanks guys, with all those reference sites i think i can picture out what i’ll be making on my next project. MERCI.[;)][;)][;)]
