An Underrated First Legion Gem… The Syrian T-62 Tank (1 Viewer)

I recently redid my vignette display with First Legion’s excellent Syrian T-62 tank from their Modern Wars collection. This model is fantastic and very well done; though it seems overshadowed by some of FL’s more popular and expansive collections.

My display uses some FL WWII Russian infantry and a tank commander as stand-ins for Syrians, so not quite accurate, but close enough. Hopefully FL will add more vehicles and figures to their Modern Wars collection in the future!

Another very well done framed vignette that you are well known for Tristan.

Thanks for the kind comments, Jazzeum and Mike

I’d love to see FL expand their Modern Wars line with some more tanks and figures. Still seems like a lot of potential with this theme.

That’s the first time I recall seeing this tank displayed-nice!

Thanks Mike! I’ve had my FL T-62 displayed in a vignette using natural dirt and bits of hardpan clay from my yard to simulate desert talus since I got the model in July 2023. The old display looked good, but I like the new one better.

A Tank in the Talus…

Here’s my latest diorama featuring the new Syrian T-62 tank from First Legion’s Modern Wars line. It’s a beautiful model and features the usual level of artistry and detail FL is known for. The model is a tad simplistic with just the two hatches opening on the turret; no other figures, stowage...
