Welcome to the forums nord!

Assuming it's one of your builds, most people post a little info about the build such as the kit, scale, methods, etc. along with the pic. It looks great by the way, very nice angle on the photography against the fence/trees, almost looks real. Wink [;)]

That's really really cool. Wow, I thought it was real. What kind of gun did those things carry? It looks like it's packing a main gun of about 150mm. Great build. Congrats.

Welcome Nord. Nicely weathered tank. I was wondering if it was the Italeri/Svezda or the DML. My observations say the tracks are a bit taught with no sag. Otherwise a fine job.

Great pictures Nord. You may want to post some in the Stug Group Build. That is a well worn waffle zim. Pretty good looking early Stug your car is next to. The interior shots ought to make the boys drool.

Well you asked for them! The first is a JS-3M from Trumpeter that's in progress. The second is a BMP-2 from DML that I finished about a year ago.

Since you want pics of Russian Armor, I'll post my collection as a representative of the Braille Scale community of FSM Forums.

This is going to be a long post with LOTS of pics!! Mischief [:-,]

Here they are, starting with:

Scouts/Armored Cars:

BRDM with ATGW:



Tanks:
T-80 MBT:



T-80U MBT:



T-80U MBT with Reactive Armor:



APC's

BMP-1 in West German markings:



BMP-1 APC:



BMP-2 Command track:



BTR 152W:



BTR 152K:



Artillery:
2S1 'Gvozdika' 122mm Self Propelled Gun:



57mm Anti-tank Gun:



152mm D-1 Field Howitzer:



Sa-13 'Gopher' Mobile SAM system in travel position:



Sa-13 'Gopher' Mobile SAM system in attack position:



And that's about a third to a half or so of my Russian Armor. I also have a compplete set of the JS-1, JS-2 and JS-3 Stalin tanks, several varieties of the KV tank, and about four versions of the T-34 among others.

I'll see about uploading them later when I have more time.

well here mine are;

my trumpeter 1/35 t-72, my first armour model. i like to forget it and think my churchill was my firstDisapprove [V], but truth be told, this one is. the glue did not stick to the plastic end everything was a bad fit. with a paint job this would look better, i may one day.




and that evil vinle tubing that came with it, not as bad as the scud. these had more bend.


and my 1/48 SS-12 "scale board" i built last week in under 6 hours. needs paint, not sure what color to paint it, all the pictures of it have been black and white spy photos.

again more vinle tubing (bad pic, sorry) unlike the t-72, this tubing does not like to bend as muchAngry [:(!]


and to compare it's size to a 1/35 jeep and figure, the sucd in 1/48, not 1/35[:0]


and thats it for my russian armour models.
