Crooked Dice Cold War Jeep - UAZ-469

Back in November 2021 I assembled and painted the Crooked Dice "Alien Jeep".

Comparison with other 1/50 scale vehicles showed that it was a bit large to be a proper UAZ-469 (even ignoring the two door design).

At Warfare this year I picked up one of Crooked Dice's new Cold War Jeep.

The kit comes in six pieces: A one piece body, four road wheels and a spare wheel.
The model has a fixed canvas roof.
Basic paint job:
Citadel Chaos Black spray undercoat.
Citadel Snot Womble Green base colour.
Windows are Army Painter Royal Blue.
Canvas is Citadel Death World Forest.
Tyres and windscreen wiper blades are MIG Rubber and Tyres.


As you can see, the Cold War Jeep is smaller than the Alien Jeep.




But scales a lot better with the Crooked Dice Land Rover.

Crooked Dice UAZ-486 - AKA The Alien Jeep.

 Crooked Dice have just released an "Alien Invader Jeep", which bears an uncanny resemblance to the Soviet UAZ-469 (though in the form of a two door variant).

Two Zone explorers check out the surroundings. Empress modern Russian and Universal Soldier.
