This tanknet thread is about the Polish kit, so may be worth a read?

It started in 2013, so wil be a long read!

BWP Borsuk first mass produced vehicles will be introduced in 2024 but don't know when probably closer to end of the year.

Ah ! I see now. The only photos I had found of it up to 5 minutes ago were not top down but I have a good one to work from now

That may be usefully Borsuk 3D model I used this when I draw this icons from post before ZZSW-30 is there. You can always use some parts of my icons if you draw your own version
