Zona Alfa and similar skirmish games are not a good fit for "on table" vehicles. Vehicles need room for maneuver, which a 90x90cm table doesn't have -- not for scales 1:72 or 28mm, anyway. Trying to actually use vehicles on such a small table leads to the ridiculous "tank parking lot" problem.
However, I still need an excuse to paint cool stuff like Cold War era tanks and armored vehicles. Zona Alfa recommends using them as scenery; essentially, objective markers or obstacles that block line of vision. A rusty abandoned tank can be the last known location of a convoy which was rumored to have been carrying top secret equipment. Or it can be an abandoned piece of hardware which happens to be the location of a reality-distorting anomaly!
Anyway, here's a low quality ESCI T-62 Russian tank I'm working on. It's currently primed green, without any additional work. I'm planning on adding stowage, battle damage and rust... lots of rust.
