Star Decals' 1/35 scale War, Conflicts and Special Operations in Ukraine decal sets:

35-C1408 The Wagner Group Coup

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.

35-C1409 Cossack T-80BV of the Donetz Republic

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.

35-C1410 TOS-1A Russian Rocket Artillery 2022-23

Five of these Heavy Flamethrower System based on T-72/T-80 tank chassis are covered on this sheet.

All are in basic dark green colour schemes with one having faded whitewash and another a multi-coloured scheme on the launcher box.

Decals for white “Z”, tactical signs and numbers plus two over-painted areas with one having a face design on it plus warning labels.

35-C1411 BM-21 GRAD Russian and Donetsk 2022-23

The BM-21 “Hail” multi-barrelled rocket launcher systems on Ural-375D six-wheel trucks is a mobile artillery system.

Five units in basic dark green with some having small areas of other colours are depicted, markings are “Z” in white and red plus tactical symbols and number plates.

35-C1412 BMP-2 Russian AFVs 1922-23 (although I assume this is a misprint for 2022-23)

Four BMP-2 infantry vehicles are on this sheet, all in basic dark green with one having faded whitewash areas.

Decals for variations on the “Z”, tactical signs and numbers are provided.

35-C1413 BMP-3 Russian AFVs 2022-23

Five of these tracked infantry vehicles feature on this sheet, four in the standard dark green/sand with black lines and one plain dark green.
