1/35 KV-2 BUNKER BUSTER BY TRUMPETER

[Si Benson]

Rolling along nicely John
Sometimes the upgrade additions leave us all scratching our heads and checking references to find out where on earth they should go!!

Shame you didn’t get an engine to fiddle about with, should make a quicker build for you though.

If I had a penny for every hidden detail I’ve messed about with over the years , I’d have about 76p

Because everyone knows Russian tanks had slogans on them! And what everyone knows is correct, isn’t it?

I found a video with contemporary film of the Dukla Pass battle, and many of the Russian tanks did indeed have slogans on the turret sides. I thought I'd bookmarked it, but can't find it now.

Actually I think the tanks with slogans on are Czechoslovakian.

Thanks for the link Pete, when Jakko and I mentioned not having slogans on it was the KV2. Your quite correct in saying that Russian tanks did, many had differing slogan on depending where they had been assembled. Esp T34 and the later ones.
