Star Decals' 1/35 scale War, Conflicts and Special Operations in Ukraine decal sets:
The Wagner Group was a private military company funded by the Russian state which had been in action in Ukraine. In June 2023, a column of their armoured vehicles advanced on Moscow in what appeared to be a coup. However they stopped and the group was disbanded.
Star’s sheet covers two T-80BV tanks and two BTR-82A infantry vehicles. The tanks were finished in plain dark green while one BTR was in green and black and the other in green and sand with small areas of black. Markings include the “Z” associated with the operations in Ukraine in both white and red plus various slogans in Russian.
Two tanks are depicted in this set, both in blue-grey finish.
Markings include the “Z” seen on Russian AFVs in Ukraine in white and red along with white-blue-red stripes and some wording.
