It's a GAZ GAZ GAZ!

Just finished this trio of 1/43 scale GAZ-69 Russian 'jeep' type vehicles.
This lot are part of my Little Cold Wars project and are dodgy diecast models....
 ...which originally looked like this!
 The red paint was a bugger to cover.  Even after two coats of green spray some still shows through.  Still, rather scruffy paintwork looks somehow 'right.'


 The second GAZ has a light overspray of grey.



For the third GAZ I couldn't resist some 'parade' markings.  It makes for a much more conspicuous target!
  All three are marked as HQ vehicles.

    Menacingly cute fits Forbodian Peoples' Army....)

    Nice save covering the red paint,
    although I've heard from a very
    reliable source they would go faster if left that way...)

    I was tempted to leave one in the original red - but the green won out.
