Title: New WWII Russian vehicles!
Post by: Leon on 10 February 2012, 08:41:31 AM
We've recently been chatting with a new vehicle designer (he's actually on the Forum, but I'll let him introduce himself if he likes!), and the first 3 models arrived the other day.  This first batch look great, so we're currently knocking up a list of what we'd like doing next.

This first lot cover a few holes in the Russian codes!

First up is the T-60.  With over 6000 produced, this is a very handy bit of kit:

Next up we've got the Gaz-67 jeep, produced from '43 onwards, with production getting past the 90,000 mark.  We've got this in both hard and soft top versions:

And lastly, here's the BA-6, which came along in 1936 and will be suitable for both WWII and some SCW gaming.  This armoured car used the same turret as the T-26, but unfortunately I didn't have one to hand for photo-ing!  The wheels have been modelled as separate pieces, so if they look a bit wonky, it's cause I was balancing the model on them!

T64's and Chieftains would be nice to go give the Falklands infantry another use.  :) You will of course have to provide some Warsaaw Pact infantry.  :D

Occurs to me - there be an APC version of the A./Car, from memoery its built up to cab level on the body. Not many built, but no doubr will appeal to some.
