AFT-9 Anti-Tank Missile Launcher & Russian "Terminator"

I always enjoy looking at the models you show, except this time!

Your photographs are not up to your usual standard, are you using a different lens?

They are not as 'sharp', which they usually are...cheers....Kenny

Thanks for your comments, Kenny. The answer is in my latest comments in "Ships" Forum. I used the same lens but different mode. You made me think I should take them pictures all over again and replace them.

Kenny, all images have been replaced. Please take a look again!

I enjoy checking out your submissions for all the different types of vehicles, but in the current state of things and not being over critical because I know we're here just for the love of what we do, I don't think it's a good time to show any type of Soviet missile launcher. I'm not being political, I'm just saying that a lot of aircraft are being shot down including a lot of very innocent people who were blown from the sky with these types of weapons just a few short days ago. I think their AFV's and artillery pieces are interesting and plan on a couple Soviet builds in the future but everything in it's own time.

Again, I don't want to come off as critical and maybe this should be in a different Forum, but a lot of people all over this world are sensitive right now because of these pieces of equipment.

The terminator is on my next kit list. And is this the meng model kit. Great detail to there kits.

Really???  It is just a plastic model.  Secondly, it is an anti-tank launcher, not even ADA.  If it upsets you, don't look at it.  Does it upset you to look at a car model?   More people die in car accidents every year than being shot down by ADA systems.

Terry, sorry for your misunderstanding and feelings. I don't feel like you do because I know there's no relation between the Terminator and the MH17 which was reportedly shot down by SA-11 "Buk". I don't think the 2x 30mm 2A42 guns can shoot 33,000 ft. or 10 kms up in the sky, let alone the four 9M133 "Kornet" (NATO reporting name AT-14 Springgan) anti-tank missiles.

gunnerm, you asked if this is Meng's kit, yes, it is. You probably didn't read my post, I did mention that it's Meng's kit, and that the Terminator's tracks contain 5 parts for each track link. If there are 100 links per side, then total parts for tracks alone = 5x100x2 = 1,000 parts! This is such a beautiful and very detailed kit that I might get another one and have it painted differently - in Russia Arms Expo 2013 desert strip camo.

Gino, thanks for your information and comments.
