It's a real feast or famine for Russian armor enthusiasts. Years go by with only the occasional, lone release. Now, all at once, or so it seems, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Russian tank. KC has 3 Russian T-34's in the pipeline, along with the captured version; FL has just announced two versions of the T-34; and JJD has the T-26's and a BT-05 coming soon. Lots of potential to put clouds of Russian armor into the field. With a little conversion work, the SCW, Nomonhon, Barbarossa, up to Stalingrad can all be represented. I really like the light tanks that are coming out and I know I am going to have to get a T-34 for my Tigers to lunch on.:wink2: -- Al

It has been a long time coming. So long, I actually gave up requesting them a couple of years ago because most of the responses were always "they will never sell." And now that they are available, I'm almost out of room to buy anything. :wink2: I was in Moscow a couple of years ago and had the chance to visit the Red Army museum. They have many of the old tanks and vehicles sitting outside. It's a bit sobering to see them in the flesh rather than as some event from the past.

It certainly is feast or famine isn't it? I do like some of the armour coming through especially, the JJD they would work well in an early barbarossa dio and, they look very nice to boot. I suppose we are in the reality mode as this flood of T-34's that are available are what the germans faced in the east on a daily basis!!!
Good time if you like the east.

Great pictures and, its a great museum they also have some great captured german AFV's in a number of their museums
