Hello everybody,
last week i began a new kit, the Meng pick-up with ZPU1 AA gun. This will be my first build report on this forum, i hope you enjoy reading it.
The pick-up looks alot like a Toyota Hilux, used in conflicts by different factions all over the world, like the war in Libya. The AA gun mounted on the back of the car is an ZPU1 (Russian AA). There is a ZPU2 and a ZPU4 as well, the difference between the 1,2 and 4 are the ammount of barrels, the ZPU1 has 1 barrel while the ZPU4 has 4 barrles. The even mount homemade rocket pods on the back of the pick up...

Love the paint scrapes, and the mis-matched body parts. looks well used !
Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"
Looking good, some very nice chipping on there.

Great start Dutch,
I have to echo Bish. The paint and chipping are well done. Looking forward to the finish product.

Very nice progress. What armament do you plan to build on your technical?

Hello everyone,
Did some work on the body yesterday. Attached the bumpers and did some dusting on the windows. bodywork is almost finished (except for the weathering).
@SprueOne: i'm going for the AA armament (provided with the kit). I think my next project will be a pick up with the rocket launcher.
Next step is going to be to assemble the pick up and do the weathering, after that i'm going to build the AA gun.
Thanks for watching and see you on the next update!!
Love the ding-up paint. I always find it hard to do something like this without it looking overdone.

Indeed. Going to be fun following this. This is excellent.

Hello,
Got the pick-up as good as finished. Next the AA gun!
Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to see how you beat up that weapon.
Dutch,
Sir that is one heck of a wonderful job!! Looking forward to the end result.
This looks great :-) I always wanted to build something like this, its on the bucket list.
Oh wow that does looks good! I've seen plenty of trucks on the road that look just like that - sans AA gun of course!
Got the pick-up with the AA finished today. Thanks everyone for reading and commenting and see you on the next build (probably next year, because we get the keys for our new home somewhere this week).The pictures:
Speak to you soon,
Greetings Marco!!
Well done sir, Well done!!

She looks great! Don't think I commented before but even the mud looks just right!
