    People don’t complain about the plethora of Tigers, Panthers, etc that are built on most channels, machines from one of the most evil regimes ever, so why be worried about this one? I build almost exclusively Russian machines because to me they are more interesting, and for no other reason.

      There's more to Russia than just Nukes, Vodka, and Ice Skating. It's a rich culture and a history of pushing scientific achievement. Often without much safety but Russians are built different mentally and that's the most lovable part of them.

    Great review Nigel, if memory serves when I built the Scud the chassis and suspension were the devil to align properly - this could be on a whole new level of nightmare if you got it wrong. As for the right cab, I think the unit commander sits at the front with the weapons tech sitting behind him during transport.

    And I can agree, that russians have interesting machines. Trumpeter and HobbyBoss are ones that make them. Like the KET-T recovery vehicle based on MAZ 537 or BTM - 3 trench digger based on AT-T tractor and so on. They have many speciality vehicles for many things, and I have not seen something like that for USA or England. Maybe because russians habe so diverse treain that requires special aproach.

    Hi Nigel. Great video as always! Just one comment on your remark that Trumpeter listens to customers. Maybe they do for military vehicles and aircraft but not 1/700 ships. They stopped producing full hulls in 2018 and in spite of a great uproar to give us the option of full hull as well as waterline ship models they've turn a deaf ear.

    • @NigelsModellingBench
      @NigelsModellingBench  Год назад

    Having a military isn't in and of itself a good guy or bad guy endeavor of nations. As for the war, I hate it. NATO allowed an 8 years war in Ukraine to go from bad to worse, and Putin is risking more Russian security than he stands to gain with any victory.
    Other than that political stuff I love these nuclear missile transporters, I wish I could drive one.
