Greetings, with the StuG for Bob's build finished I decided to return surprisingly 
to some Russian amour.
Unfortunately the book .
is out of print.
Perhaps the best publisher on Russian armour.
Having bought this recently I decided to do a check on Scalemates to see how many re boxes it has had. I had an earlier version from Zevzda which I built in the other house. From what I can see it is roughly the same kit. this does appear to be clean as some photos will later show. Looking through the add ons and at the decals with the kit there is one fault, this tank was never painted with propaganda slogans as they would have you believe. There are no known photos to me that show any, plenty of photos with German signs on and directions ! I shall add a little history as I do the build.
Box front.
Some etch and barrel in the box.
I built the Zvezda 3608 in 2016.
Some of you may remember it, complete with a nice set of Fruils.
Any way this time I'm going to use the kit tracks , but idf they don't look good. I'll send off for some Fruils.
Now back to this model .
Looks quite clean and reasonable detail, suppose Simon would remove the track guards and re do but they are attached to the body and don;t think I could cope !
Seating available, coffee , tea , light refreshments by Si , the bar will be run by Allen Dewire and Steve Jones, who by the way is handling all tickets through
Mrs Jones Seating Ltd . Devon .
