The colors I used for the bottom two aircraft didn't look right against a white background, for some reason.
Thanks for the comment about the Flakpanzer, I am happy about how it turned out. I somewhat based the turret off Objekt 530 which was a real design, albeit one which didn't reach production status. Given the consternation the ZSU-23-4 caused, a 57mm version would have been downright nasty. I think the Soviets also planned a ZSU-37-2, but this didn't get built either. In my setup, the Flakpanzer 57/2 Mod is a divisional asset, while the Flakpanzer 23/4 S (Soviet) is a brigade one.
Compared to the original ZSU-57-2 improvements include fully enclosed turret, motorized turret & weapon aiming, night sight, electronic FCS, LRF, APU, and proximity-fuzed ammunition, which has to be procured from China.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.
"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."
