About product

Pickup with a ZPU-2 (1:35, Meng)

An injection-molded plastic kit of a modern improvised fighting vehicle in 1:35 scale from Meng. It is a civilian pickup with a bed on which a twin heavy anti-aircraft machine gun, the ZPU-2, is mounted. These so-called technicals are typical of the asymmetric conflicts of recent decades. The doors can be built open or closed and the anti-aircraft mount is movable; check the exact contents of the box against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

Improvised fighting vehicles come about by fitting an ordinary off-road pickup with a heavy weapon. The twin ZPU-2 anti-aircraft machine gun of 14.5 mm caliber is used against low-flying targets as well as ground targets, and thanks to its high rate of fire and range it is a favorite weapon of irregular units. The combination of a cheap, readily available chassis and an effective weapon makes these vehicles a widespread feature of modern battlefields.

Building and painting tips

Glue the parts with thin cement for plastic; assemble the more complex gun mount according to the instructions and paint it separately. Paint the interior of the cab and the bed before they are finished. Civilian pickups tend to be scuffed and dusty, so after the base shade and the varnish, bring out the details with a wash and add pigments in the wheel arches and light paint chipping for the faithful look of a worn vehicle.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of modern and contemporary military equipment
  • Modelers interested in improvised fighting vehicles
  • Builders of dioramas from present-day conflicts
  • Anyone interested in a combination of civilian vehicles and armament

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
