Mugabia's air force is somewhat out-classes by Uwanda, and though they have a wide range of anti-aircraft weapons, they have little self-propelled ADA.
Mugabian air defense, 57mm, 23mm, and 14.5mm guns.
Their dozen or so ZSU-57s are spread pretty thin, so Mugabia's fledgling arms industry has started converting T-34 chassis, producing self propelled anti-aircraft weapons from existing stocks. The first of these is the "ZSU 23/2".
Here are a few pics of the nearly completed prototype:
The ZU23/2 turret is scratch-built from styrene strips and brass rod. The T-34 chassis is one of my own post-war T-34 castings. I'm still debating whether to put stowage racks on the hull sides or on a rack over the engine deck. I will probably stop at two of the ZSU conversions, supported by a single ammo carrier also build on a T-34 chassis.
A minor victory, but at least a few less loose bits are floating around the basement this week.
