Some of this batch has been waiting a little while for it's chance to appear on the blog, whilst others were only finished off recently
T34/85 number 2 of 3 from the recently acquired boxed set. I believe the turret slogan is "To The West!"
This one had one of the resin tank commanders that came with the "Achtung Panzer" boxes from early last year added.
A few new tank riders from Pot Belly 3d in Wellington - two different brands - RKX and 3D Breed
They don't work so well with all the "stowage" - I should have considered that - mind you, most of my tanks don't have stowage added, so should work out fine.
Next is tank three of three
This one has a plastic commander that came with the kit in the turret hatch.
With a few tank riders again
A return visit from the SU100 assault gun - because IT has room to fit on more of the tank riders!
This last model is also from Pot Belly, but I have had it 12-18 months
An 8-wheel SdKfz 234/1
I mistakenly got it to paint panzer grey for early war, then realised too late that even with its 20mm "pop gun" this vehicle was not in service till 1944!
Strangely, the 234/2 "Puma" with its turret mounted 50mm gun came first - then it was replaced by the 234/1 with the 20mm cannon!
I guess I had assumed the Puma was the best version so would be the last to be developed, and that the 20mm gun similar to the SdKfz 222 would have been earlier - hence I thought it fitted in with my early war project...
But with the advent of the Tiger 1 in its fancy camo paint job, the opportunity came up to get this later war vehicle completed!
A few of the many spare German decals I have were added to bring it to life.
And that's tonight's post
