As promised some time ago, soon for Ebay unless other offers arrive first...
Item: Z Force APC (life-size).
One not so careful owner (Soviet Army).
No missile launcher (modded with smoke grenade dispenser due to

cutbacks).
No aerial/antenna to speak of.
Turret in need of some oil but otherwise in good nick.
Heavy machine gun ditto.
Modded Zed-esque camoflauge.
8 Flat tyres.
Innards nuked by an RPG-induced fire.
Prolific rust in the interior.
No remaining stickers, but some cunning Shad cyrillic graffitti adds to the flavor.
GBP 200 should do it ONO.
Buyer collects from the Panjshir Valley, Afghanistan.

Excellent! What a bargain!
There might be a problem collecting it though as the rear bumper/carry handle is missing.
Damn, I knew I overlooked something. I think it was locally recycled as a bridge or similar (or the rather tinny-looking bar at the local juice pub?). Probably salvagable if you're nice t'locals.

Ja, I promise that I looked everywhere, just in case a local had it on his mantelpiece. But, oh no, it's another case of the eternally absent APC aerial...
I think we all need therapy about aerial issues.

I don't have aeriel issues. As my mother said to me after coming out of her post-op anaesthetic:
"I've got my head back on the ground now."

Ja, Eisenblut, those were the least of her worries, nichts?
"OMFGWTF I just spawned the Devil's protegé in a fit of absence of mind?" might set the tone. Aerials will not. Well, at least if they are green and not red. Or something.
