Default Re: Hungarian OOB 5.5

303 Scouts - better pic of non-Mosin rifle is 23509 (used by unit #300 for a rifle 43/M)

310, 311, 316, 317, 359 Rifle Section, 312 Scouts - proper pic of Mosin-family rifle is 11098

357 Maxim HMG [2] - better picture is 29409 or 29178

373 SPG-82 RCL - picture should be changed to correct one (I've proposed new picture in other post). (I have no idea, if they used this unpopular weapon).

376 B10 Recoilless - as #68 - realistic date is 1/55 (now 1/50)

388 Yak-9B (spotter) - maybe Yak-9M or P (Yak-9B was sparse Soviet fighter-bomber variant). Hungarian spelling is Jak.

398 GAZ-46 MAV - it should be small 5-seater amphibious jeep, equivalent of Ford GPA, not MG-armed 3+6 crew vehicle - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAZ_46 . Picture shows probably some prototype of some other, bigger vehicle (also used in Polish OOB as MAV).
Available in OOB in 69-120 - but it's somewhat doubtful, if the Hungarians started to use it 11 years after production's end (1958 according to the Russian Wikipedia), and it's unbelievable to use it until now. 1/58-12/79, max. 89 would be more probable estimation. Speed was 90 km/h.

403, 404 BRM-1 - seems, that this is in fact ordinary BMP-1 lacking Malutka, not BRM-1K (special scout vehicle from the 80s, which, according to nTW-1/01, was delivered only to Poland, CS and NVA). Therefore, it should have picture 11064 of BMP-1 and be named so (assigning BMP-1 to recce tasks doesn't make it BRM). Basic BMP has carry=109, these: 112.

408 BTR-60PB - carry capacity was in fact only 8 (+commander) (now 112).

411 BRDM-1 - DShK was rather not used, typical was one 7.62mm MG.

414 IS-IIm1944 - better name is just IS-2 (especially, that no other models of IS-2 are used). Ammo was distributed more evenly (if not more HE, than AP).

421 Luchs A3 - it isn't known to be used (now: from 1/110)

422 Mercedes Atlas - an existence of such vehicle, armed with Mistral and DShK in addition, should be verified. There are known Mistral launcher carriers on Unimog trucks in the Hun. Army.

424 Mistral Team - according to an article in nTW 6/2011, only twin Atlas Mistral launchers are used, and after withdrawal of Igla in 2011, Hunagry remained without MANPADS at all.

425 VBL Igla - existence of such vehicle should be verified. There are known only GAZ-66 Lama vehicles - simple twin Igla-1E launchers on GAZ-66 truck (unarmoured), with no MG (I have no info on number of reloads, which should be 2-4). Possible icon 76. It doesn't seem to have TI, nor any special night vision devices. Some photos of a model and a real one: http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?...opic_id=155046
Unfortunately, I have no sure starting date - may be assumed some 1990 (Igla missiles were bought in 1986), withdrawn in 4/2011. In an article on Hungarian Iglas [source nTW 6/2011] there's no mention on VBL launcher.

426 Strela-3 Team - in fact, should be changed to Igla-1E - used in Hungary from 1986, last ones fired in 4/2011 [source: article in nTW-6/2011, by Hungarian author]. Despite some Western sources mention Strela-3 in Hungary instead of Igla, but there is no mention on Strela-3 in a quoted article, devoted to last firings of Igla. After 2011, Hungary remained without MANPADS.

433 UAZ-469 Shmel - starting date at 1/60 is rather impossible, since only in 8/60 it was commissioned in the USSR, and then its production started. Realistic date is 63, as of unit #434. Besides, it should be GAZ-69, not UAZ-469.

436, 437 Reserve Section - proper pic of Mosin-family rifle is 11098

480 Malutka ATGM - there shouldn't be RPG-7

494 Malutka 2 - as #98

503 152mm Battery - correct pic of D-1 howitzer is 36139

542 Komsolets - should be replaced with Ja-12 tractor.

The Hungarians also used during the war 37M Hansa-Loyd - a copy of SdKfz-11 (I don't know if it was used post-war, but it could be)

590 43/M Turan 75h - as far as it is known, Turan 75h (Turan III) with long gun remained a single prototype from 1943. The sources usually focus on Hungarian tank production before 1945, but it is doubtful, if their production lasted after the war...

613 BTR-80A - 25 vehicles were present already in early 1999 - I don't known when delivered (now 1/100) [source nTW 4/99]

903 Su-22 - precisely, Su-22M3. It could carry only 6 S-24 rockets, one under each main pod (now: 9)

905 MiG-29A - even 80 rockets S-8 can be carried in 4 launchers (now: 40)

920 Mi-24 Hind - should be Mi-24D - but 80mm rockets were introduced only in early 80s, especially to client states.

924 Mi-24 Hind - existence of alleged 57mm guided rockets should be verified, especially concerning their low calibre and lousy efficiency.

To be added:
MaxxPro from 12/10 (Polish article http://www.altair.com.pl/start-5735)

Mi-24P (with 30mm gun) - several used from around 1996 (German gift)

That's all, unless I find some new info.

Michal
