Very cool, do you have any close up pics. I've never been a big fan of Trumpeter Kits, how did it come together for you?

That is one heck of a model, Paul. The only thin missing would be a standing driver figure, soldier, or even a civilian walking down the road to give the observer a sense of scale on this massive vehicle!

I'd like to see some close-ups too!

So, it is a non verified actual missile that works...then it is a "classified" weapon...but still, we can build it as a model.... so much for the historically accuracy...hahah...just kidding...dont take this comment as an offense.Im just messing around.

Aside from that....it looks a very complex model and built, painted very nice....!!

Thumbs up!

Nice looking build, only critique I can serve is the cammo. Chinese vehicles are almost always hard or only very slight soft edge.

Thanks, these are all the pics I have, for now.   I like newer Trumpeter kits pretty well, but this one - over a decade old - was pretty tough.  Lots and lots of cleanup, on just about every part, and the fit was nothing to write home about.

Kit length: about 18-19"   That's a 24" board it's mounted on.

very nice. i have a pair of these and the tank transporter and SA-2. just getting anothe couple of truck builds in before i start this ine. nice camo.

as this is an older kit it isn't the most current DF-21 mod. most of the newer ones are on 8 or 10 wheel TELs.

i know doog i would like to see someone put a a set of modern PLA, Bundeswehr, and Canadian soldiers to go with all the vehicles.i have the JGSDF set.

i will probably have mine being escorted by a ZSL-92 66x6 IFV in a different camo scheme.
