...Eastern front, Feb '43 dio...
...this was my first attempt at a white camo scheme...I was NOT trying to reproduce whitewash applied in the field, but rather a factory applied scheme of white, which was done on a limited scale for tanks produced and destined for the Eastern front during the winter months, so the tank has a very even and regular layer of white with minimal wear...having said that, I was not happy with the results but had a base, some figs and a bldg that I cobbled together for a quick dio...the Mk III J is the old DML Imperial kit and is a great reproduction of that tank...I robbed their StuG F8 for the ostketten, which I think are cool looking...figs are a mix of Warriors, VLS and DML, ruin is VLS and snow is an AM product that I can't recall the name of but use al the time to make snow...
...scene depicts the opening stages of the battle of Kharkov, with this unit belonging to the GD division...they are advancing and have just come under small arms fire...squad leader is trying to locate source of fire, while platoon commander coordinates response with his MG section and tank support...
...never have entered it in any contests and only a couple of friends have seen it so I am interested in all comments...
