Okay, wrong scale for all you ten-millers, but this shows what can be done:

They look very pretty - but tell me can they fight ?

Oh yes!
Last week the KV-1A took out TWO Tiger Is! And in one WoT game the T-35 actually won. T'other week we had the amusing spectacle of the T-35 shooting all five turrets at once, one 45mm and MG turret at my Su-1-12 gun truck to the front; the 76mm main gun at my T-28 on his flank; and the rear 45mm and MG turret at a Tiger coming up his rear. Suffice to say, he missed or did no damage, but it looked good, briefly  ;D

Wow, that's a pretty big collection.

They're not RC, right?

nope, not R/C, just your standard Airfix style scale 1/72 kits, varying from a quid to £35 each..... Some are pre-painted diecasts like Altaya, Deagostini, some resin like Ostmodels, some metal like MMS. Some are 1/76, hence two different sized Cromwell IV  :-X

Impressive collection, Sultanbev. But you should try 10mm. You'd be surprised by how good they are - I was.  :)

Until they make all these tanks in 10mm that I can get in 20mm, there's no chance! 10mm only works en masse I think, a single 20mm scale E-100 or KV-5 is very imposing.

Was going to get a French 1938 interventionist for SCW/VBCW but you can't eevn get a Renault D1 or D2 yet, nor French cavalry, so that kinda stymied that, for now at least.
