I don't know much about armour, I'd be of more use to you in the bakery department. I do however have a 1/35 Kettenkrad and a 1/35 jagdpanther in the stash, not sure if either would be appropriate here...

I don't think I'd be able to come up with a whole diorama on my end, but a piece of it, probably. Maybe anyone involved can build a small vignette of the overall scene. We could assemble a "virtual snapshot" after the pieces are all done. Is there a quick-list of items that would be appropriate? I think I saw a picture link up there, but it was filtered out at the office...)

Oh I thought this was a WW2 scenario!! In that case I definitely need a "subject list"! And likely a lot of popsicle sticks....

I heard you "battered" them....

So my Jagdpanther would work with the right badging.

Yeah, but they were a "crusty" 'ol bunch...

...no Jagdpanthers at the 3rd Battle of Charkow...

In the right hands, this would make a great diorama. I'm looking forward to seeing some pics.

Okay, after some long thought at what it could entail, I will offer the following proposition to you M0J0's: if anyone out there is willing to part with a spare Miniart Russian Field Kitchen seen earlier in this thread, I will build the friggin' dio and post it in this Forum.  That will require more effort than usual, as I will have to come out of retirement and actually build again, instead of just buying kits and being a smartarse, but I see it as a challenge that could be fun...I will build it according to the best of my recollections of February of 1943...

So there it is.  Any takers?  I doubt any of you M0J0's in here have the brass to take me up on it...so I'll get back on Sprue Bro's and buy some more kits until ya'll M0J0's reply...

PS: I 'aint payin' for the Field Kitchen and I keep it on my dio after its done...

Gennulman - please don't confuse the field kitchens - that mainly provide the troops with hot pea soup (old eastern european tradition) with a field bakery, that makes hot bread, as the name indicates. A field bakery mainly needs trucks to haul bags of flour, tankers with water, and it also has specialized trucks to make the dough (looking like shop vans from the outside) and at last mobile ovens (probably also looking like shop vans - but they sure would need a smokestack!). So the field kitchen doesn't really help you much here. Good luck digging for the resources, knowing the Russians it's still top secret today. And good luck with the build, have a nice day

I can be challenged to build a small portion of something like this, the whole thing, not likely! Will be watching & scheming what I can contribute...

I understand...but a field kitchen as we've seen would probably be in the vicinity of a field bakery unit...I think I can scratch a bakery oven with a simple trailer frame, based on pics I've seen and German examples...Russians seem to have copied their kitchen, so they probably copied their bakery units...
