For those who are still looking for the Russian tanks, it still looks like Treefrog has all three but you know, as they say, the early bird gets the worm :smile2: or as they say in the mother country, ранняя пташка получает червя :smile2:

Definitely. How else do you think I can afford this hobby? ^&grin

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this about the new T-34's, but on the tank #25, the figure that comes with it looks to be the same officer from RA010 anti-tank gun set, and the tank #23 the figure looks almost identical to one of the tankers from the RA013 T-34/85.^&confuse

Interesting but, will have to go and look at the older sets figures you mention. I would have hoped they would have been new sculpts at least

I just noticed this and apologies if already mentioned but the K & C site lists the new Russian figures as a continuation of the Fall of Berlin series.

 

[Mitch]

Oh well thats ok then if the figures are the same as mentioned then it just means they survived the earlier battles!!!!!!!!

I was wondering too if they are one in the same, oh well very glad to have the Ivans. My Volksturm panzerfaust troops need some targets. {sm3}

I just wanted to express my appreciation for Andy's willingness to add some outstanding pieces to a line that -- as he's made abundently clear -- doesn't sell as well as most others. I can't decide whether to get a T-34, but I'll probably cave. I am sold on the Russian infantry. All the poses are solid, multi-purpose poses that make the units useful in any Stalingrad or Berlin diorama.
So... Thanks, Andy!

Unfortunately no specifics.

Baryatinskiy's book calls this the Uralmash drop forged turret; 2050 made between 10/42 & 3/44. Also shipped to other factories for assembly

The chassis tells us the rest in regards to factory and timeframe. The standardized side mounted external fuel tanks, configuration of hand rails, radio and full complement of rubber rmmed road wheels point to 183 Facotry (summer 1943).

Riiiivvvveeetttt, rrrriiiiivvvveeeeetttt, rrrriiiivvvveeeetttt..............wow only on TREEFROG would we see an analysis of the minutia of wheel types, turret type, production numbers etc. I'm actually very impressed with the passion my fellow collectors have on the history of these U.S.S.R. AFV's. This is what collecting and bringing history to life is all about, good stuff gentlemen! Now back to the books I'd like to know what kind of FLUX CAPACITOR these tanks came with. {sm4}

I'll need to find out what Uralmash mean first

 

[Phantom Warrior]

Flux capacator?? Are you claiming the Russians invented the DeLorean in 1943? ^&grin

Is uralmesh a manufacturer? remember reading something about them and the Sverdlovski factory using a large ford to produce a couple of thousand T-34 turrets for two factories

Uralmash is the short form name of the Urals Machine-Building Plant located at Yekaterinburg in the Urals mountains, a huge facility built in the 1930s.
