That’s why Polish radars, like AVIA-W, were built in many air bases all over the Eastern Europe at that time. I designed this radar to place it on my Cold War diorama.

I’ve used Vallejo “Light Sea Grey” as a base coat, and then applied AK “Wash for wood” and “Engine Grime”. I’ve painted the set of liquid raw material containers using the same technique.
