Fresh from the Painting Desk - A Quartet of Red Army Tanks

 AS mentioned in my last post, I had an unusually productive construction session last weekend and put together four 28mm Warlord kits in one sitting. These were spray painted on the Sunday and finished off on Monday evening - and here they are:


First up is a KV I tank - background provided by Co Pilot Generative AI!


I have added some stowage from both the Warlord stowage pack that came in the box set and some left over bits from the Russian infantry set


Next up is a KV II - same chassis, just have to swap the turret over





The Obr 41 early T34/76


The turret numbers on this were all individual - a very painful and slow process to get them applied!


A second early war version T34/76, this one with the rather odd rear storage bins


This one also has a commander, using signal flag in lieu of radios that the Red Army did not have in many vehicles early in the war



The last tank is the later Obr 1942 version with a different turret and hatch arrangement.


This one has a tank commander with a Victoria Miniatures head swap


The decals on this vehicle make it part of a Guards unit.



And finally, as we are well into Autumn (fall) here, a lady at work asked to see a picture of our apple tree - so you get the joy of seeing it too!


Thanks as always for visiting and please let me know what you think of the four tanks - thanks!
