PR Models / Mikro Models in 2010 designed the Orlik armored and gunned train used by the Czechoslovak Legion during the First World War and the subsequent conflicts of the Russian Revolution in 1/250 scale in its classic boxy style. It is important to mention that this train was built in Russia and not by the Czechoslovaks. The Zaamurets was built in Odessa and its original guns were 57mm (double turrets). The two Khunkhuz were built in Kyiv with 3-inch (76mm) guns in single turrets. The combined Zaamurets / Khunkhuz train was captured by the Legion and continued to fight after it was surrendered by it. It changed owners and names several times and apparently its last owner was the Japanese army.

Last Sunday, I decided to buid it in one sitting and started a Marathon construction. Starting around nine at night and ending a little before two in the morning. It still lacks paint details, the canons and the Zaamuret wagon with double turret and certainly not as functional as Jan Kytop’s. Everything reduced from 1/250 to 1/400. The matrona doesn't like me doing this, especially on a Sunday before starting the work week. Well, what was I going to do, face the consequences!

Ps: note that the flag is Polish and not Czech which is easily fixable by adding a blue triangle.
