AVLB & ARV

These Roco T34 have had their turrets removed and replaced by the hatch from a Roco M106 mortar carrier.  It makes a Soviet recovery tank.  I added a few detail bits like some resin cast road wheels.

Large Soviet units often had these tow truck tanks to help them get tanks that were damaged or stuck in the mud.

Mir used to make a T54 with bridge launcher.  I back-dated it with a Roco T34 as the bases.

Unit mobility requires both recovery vehicles and bridge launchers.

Roco T34 Tanks

The Soviet Collection has been getting a lot of work this past year.

The BT-7 tanks have had the flash cut off, and they have been primer painted.

The Roco T-34/76 tanks have been repaired, and painted.

About 200 of them are done.  And a few bridge launchers, and the T-44 tanks also.

Still more work to do yet as well.

Soviet Union Collection

Recently I have been working on my WWII Soviet Union collection.  JSII in this photo by Paul Heiser Models.

Anti-tank guns by Italeri.  Crews and supplies in the red boxes.  White boxes are in every large box to store bits that get lost or broken off until they can be fixed.

T-34 by Roco.  Each box is lined with corduroy cloth to keep the vehicles from sliding around.

More anti-tank guns and figures still in the box.

Heavy artiller and more items waiting for assembly.
