Just in case my wave of T-26`s comes unstuck I have

added an Su-76 to cover the retreat.

This little model by Battlefront was a joy to make and

paint due to high detail found on metal models. I also find

it much easier to achieve better detail when only painting

one model as opposed to a mass batch.

Enjoy:

I`m now tempted to build something big enough to

stop a Tiger 🙂

15mm Russian T-26`s

The Russian solution to German armour was often not to

build something of better quality but rather to build

greater numbers. Thus my large group of T-26`s which have

the fire power of a small gnat but eventually through

numbers one will sting you.

With all those Panthers lurking in the hedge rows

it was time to even things up. Bring on the 17pdr`s.

These have a bit more markings, specifically they

are 11th Armoured Division, 23rd Hussars Regiment.

I am quite pleased with the darker shade of green

as I was worried it would come out like Soviet

green.

Panthers

Back to WW2 German tanks and this time its Panthers.

I have left off any distinguishing marks so I can use

them from 1943-45.

The paint scheme was a lot better than the Tiger.

Hardest part of these Panthers was the decals. I have small

fingers and its still murder trying to put them on.

Finally finished my KV1`s and took some pictures of them on the board.

Bring on the panzers.

Best thing about these KV1`s was that they only take a couple of days to paint up.

Finally finished my KV1 and I`m a lot more happy with the result.

The photos are better as well.

Its finished, but I`m not happy with it.

Quite a few mistakes in construction and I don’t like the paint job. Oh the photos are`nt much good either.

On the plus side it was all a learning curve so the mark II will be better.
