Figarti, First Legion and King and Country all make Russian Armor in 1/30 scale. Which company
makes the most accurate and detailed Russian Armor? What is your favorite Russian Armor?
Figarti made the most; but who makes the best?

Hi Katana. First Legion makes some really nice pieces as part of their Stalingrad collection but they're pretty pricey. I'm partial to King & Country which has a very nice variety. I was looking for some Russian pieces last year (figures and armor) and K&C sold me because I really liked their Red Army great coat figures. Ended up picking up one Russian tank, the SU-76M Self Propelled Gun.

Here's a few shots of my Red Army:

Great photos Western Outlaw. The K&C SU-76 looks very realistic.

Really great photo Frank and the backgrond and building are excellent.

My favorite Figarti Russian Armor; the most accurate polystone T34-85 made to date IMHO.

I do like my FL T-34s. I just wish there was more FL Soviet Armor (i.e. KV-1)

Great photos Frank. I wish I could do as well. The Figarti KV-1 is compatable with FL figures and its on Ebay for $199.00.

The John Jenkins Designs BT-5 is the precursor of the T34 and was in production until 1942. The model as you can see in the photo has excellent detail and great realism. The 47mm gun and high speed made it a dangerious adversary to the early Panzer III.
