Kurdish Improvised Tank

Okay, I'm cheating as this does not feature a model but what a great model it would make! Strictly speaking this is not a tank as it does not have tracks; instead it looks to have had armour added to a truck. The eyes are a nice touch. Lacking their own source of tanks the Kurds used their creative genius to make a variety of weird looking armoured vehicles.

I have a soft spot for the Kurds, one of the Middle Eastern peoples who did not get their own (official) country. They did get an unofficial one in Iraq as a result of the American protection against dictator Hussein of Iraq and their own territory in Syria as a result of the civil war there. They also differ from other Middle Eastern armies (except Israel) by fielding many women warriors. They really gave ISIS a bloody nose and scared ISIS delusional, scumbag fanatics that they might get killed by females thus preventing them going to 'Paradise'. The Kurds have been among the most loyal allies of America but are getting threatened now by Turkey.



These vehicles offered protection from small arms fire, One of them looks like it is made of cardboard so I guess a model would be fairly easy to make out of actual cardboard!
