Zulfiqar 3 MBT....

[Chiwie]

Just of kicks.. heres a the only bit of math I’ve done from 2005 so far....

Boredom + procrastination on studying + free cheap not even close to adobe standards photoshop rip off= bad attempts at stuff....

i was getting sick of seeing
A: the only two Zulfiqar 3 pics in existence over and over
B: the fact that the turret is backwards on both pics....
C: its not doing anything (unless you call stitting on a flat bed truck something)
D: there isn’t a preview for it yet on the MGP website

so i embarked in a half ass, boredom inspired quest to fix this, armed only with paint and my horrid Photoshop knock off, i set out to do the impossible....

and here is the result....

seeing as i managed this (i have the art skills and patience of a angry goldfish) im wondering if anyone else can take a better shot of using Photoshop etc. to give us more of a idea what the mongoose mini will look like

That looks pretty decent. Is that the recent Anaheim Hills fire in the background?

i don't know to be honest i searched for "desert on fire" hoping i could find pics similar to the oil fields on fire in Jarhead

Edit: 100th post

Well, "desert on fire" pretty much describes Anaheim Hills.

The Oil fields were pitch black. As in it was pitch balck at 1200. the only lights you could see were the oil fires.

Interesting - anyone know what the gun is? I assume 125 Rapana or something similar?

 

[Mr Evil]

id say look at stats similiar to the type 99

its a M1A1 at about 20% reduction in the size lol.

a mini M1A1 lol

It is a 125mm smoothbore, but not sure who makes it.

Well, since it's an Iranian home grown tank... just pick (at random) one of Iran's weapons manufacturers.

Which are?

I thought a lot of their guns where made by odd blokes in small towns just hammering on lumps of metal... :roll:

Maybe not......... :?

I'd post pictures, buy Photobucket is currently down for repairs..

Would prefer to see a stat card *LOL*

 

[Hiromoon]

Well, I'm already there for that. I suppose I should get Wave 4 pulled together.. since they're makinging Wave 3 from Wave 3 and Wave 4 together.

These are from Afghanistan:

 

[cordas]

I dunno but that just seems rather scary to me..... I dunno the making of weapons shouldn't be a cottage industry.

 

[Hiromoon]

Well, it had been for the longest time....especially in areas where there isn't a large city.

Here's a bit you might find interesting from Globalsecurity.org

Well, this goes well with my theory that the MEA could have a mis-mash of various weapons, from domestic to many other sources, including Russian. Now I can go back and buy that Corgi F-14 in 1/64 scale and repaint it in "MEA" colors. :wink:

 

[Gibbs]

Sure....but then what about the ammo? Kind of hard to acquire decent missiles. :lol:

 

[Hiromoon]

Well, the Iranians did a lot of reverse engineering on stuff they aquired either from the pre-revelution Iranian era or from the Soviet union.

While these won't be top of the line, they're enough to combat any of the other regional powers (untill we got there, of course )

 

[Gibbs]

You, the British, aw hell anyone with a decent modern army :lol:

 

[Hiromoon]

That's effectively true.
