The division fought in many desperate defensive battles over the next few weeks, gradually being pushed back into the city of Kharkov itself.

Excellent! Repaints look great! Who makes the KV1?

I agree with everyone those repaints look very good and the layout looks very cold. Another excellent diorama.

Wow , I love the winter bleakness of the set up and the all white uniforms...dare I say it, but your repaints look better than the original paint scheme. The all white is fantastic on the germans and brings out the figures more, and your winter russians are brilliant..didn't think they would look so good in white ...fantastic Please post more if you have any

I whole heartedly agree, I was looking for some figures to go with my old K&C winter 88, they are all in white and your repaints have shown me just the right answer. Thanks for another great group of pics.

Thanks guys, i gave a try last week and choose some of my Fall of Berlin and SS winter set and repainted with a dirt look to be more realistic to the winter reality of the East Front. I am glad that you guys liked.

here some more.
