MENG pick up W/ ZU-23-2 - now on Video!


MENG share a new Video For VS-004 1/35 Pickup W/ZU-23-2 Model Kit – over half an hour of free tutelage – Ohh what a feeling!

So MENG aren’t calling it a Toyota Landcruiser – but this little “Pickup” has some Toyota DNA all over it - and a BIG gun in the shape of a ZU-23-2 AA gun to add as cargo…

This is another wonderful model building guidance video presented by MENG and Warfare in Scale team! This model building guidance video will bring reference and help for your own building. In this building guidance video, Mr. Jose Moral from Spain will show not only the whole process of building the pickup and ZU-23-2 AA gun models but also his super painting skills and unique weathering techniques. We hereby want to express our gratitude to Warfare in Scale TV team including Mr. Jose Moral for their hard work and cooperation.


Pickup, a light truck with open cargo bay, has gained universal utility in many fields, including military applications.
The ZU-23-2 AA gun, developed by Former Soviet Union, is a light-weighted, easily operated and low cost weapon system widely adopted by many nations and has seen active performance in hot spots in Africa and Middle East. Due to its nature, this gun can be fitted onto various platforms as a highly effective mobile fire support weapon.
