20mm WW2 BT-7 Soviet Tanks, back to work and Resolutions!

Back to work today, a quiet Christmas, a quite New Year (except for the shagging fireworks!), painted some 20mm Soviet BT-7 tanks from Pegasus Hobbies for the painting challenge (Ray has cheated twice already!), Santa wasn't too bad to me either.

I don't post too much from home because the SWMBO has knackered 3 desktops so far and now has a laptop for wandering around poultry forums but it doesn't like blogger, so I visit more than comment at home because the laptop wouldn't survive the angry repeated typing.

I will start wandering around blogs again today, hope you had a good Christmas (you're not obliged to) and a good New Year (same thing), ignore those resolutions but to me me it's like the lyrics from a song "another day older and deeper in debt!"

Have a good one people but only if you want to!

20mm Painted WW2 Soviet T-28 medium tanks.

The Soviet T-28 was among the worlds first medium tanks, the prototype was completed in 1931 and went into production in 1932, it was an infantry support tank and designed to destroy fortified positions but would see limited success on the battlefield.

It weighed 28 tonnes, a length of nearly 24 and a half feet, a crew of 6, a 76.2mm main gun and this variant had 4 7.62mm machine guns.

Have been collecting a few 20mm Soviet pieces over the last year as a side line and as the British are currently been painted I just wanted to paint something different (not that different I grant you) but will do something around 1942 in Russia with my early war Germans.

The models are from Shellhole Scenics "Friend or Foe" range and I have added some 20mm German armour to show scale.






20mm German Panzer IV and II for scale.

20mm Painted WW2 German Pz-38T Light Tank Platoon..

Finally starting to show progress with the What If Operation Sealion project, these are the Pz-38T light tank platoon (hand painted crosses, my eyesight is fecked, if it doesn't improve I may have to go 54mm with any other project), this week on the blog will see a couple of painted invasion barges and a Panzer IV platoon. The recognition flag is to signify the command tank and was a common thing I believe, they have been painted sort of clean with no baggage or clutter on them, the flag is what is it is (used well before the Germans did) and if there is a problem Wikipedia has an explanation here
