I notice its a mix of 76 and 85 model T-34s awesome,id like to see your ISU-152s,do you have any KV-85 or IS-2 also?The IS-2 gave the Germans a scare,it could just about deal with their Tigers on a reasonably equal footing.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@wonkywinky I had a couple of IS-2s, but I'm trading them to a friend for two more ISU-152s and T-34s each. My strategy is simple: they cannot kill all of them!

That will probably be about equal to two Red Army tank platoons of maybe 4 or 5 tanks i think.This is miniature wargaming?
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@wonkywinky A Red Army tank platoon had either 2 or 3 tanks in it, depending on whether it was a heavy tank platoon or a medium tank platoon. So ISU-152s and IS-2s would have 2 per platoon and 5 per company, while T-34s, T-70s, Shermans, and whatever else had 3 per platoon and 10 per company (at full strength of course)

@KiwiDan Thanks its great you have done your research.I was assuming all would be like the Germans who had maybe up to 8 in a platoon.(you sometimes see photos of mainly MkIV numbered like 528-8th tank second platoon 5th company).

Are you going to try to paint those slogans on like "Za Stalin" "Na Berlin" "Za Pobeda!" etc but in Russian of course?
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@wonkywinky Probably, yeah. They do also give you transfers, but those I'd have to find.

@MrBrownstone so I've heard. I'm going to stick with citadel though because I literally get them half price.

@KiwiDan Nuln oil is great for a dirty look
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@MrBrownstone it really is. I've used Agrax Earthshade for the shade on the tanks, so Nuln Oil might add a bit of extra grime.

Show us the finished ones when you are done, please.
KiwiDan · 31-35, M
@Burnley123 of course. I just have to remember to bring my Iron Warriors home so I can do the metallic details first
