20mm Soviet Arms Race for Kursk
I have literally been beavering away at Soviet Forces with our Kursk Battle coming up in the next few weeks. I realised that I was seriously short of Soviet artillery and tanks, and have been feverishly building a Tankovy and Artillery Batallion over the last weeks.
Latest Arrivals from the factories:
Zis 3 Guns x 4 (PSC, built last night)
(Luckily my gun barrels were not as bent as those in the picture. Must be the heat on the Russian Steppe)
Armourfast T34/85s x 2 (Built last night)
Zvezda 122mm Artillery guns x 4 - To be built in short order
Zvezda 45mm Antitank guns x 4 - to be built in short order too
Zvezda 37mm AA Guns x 2 To be built in even shorter order
On my Workbench (All in the final finishing stages):
German IgG 33s x 2
SU 85s x 2
T34/75s x 2
T34/85 x 1
KV1s x 1
The Siberian (sigh) winter riflemen have been cleaned of excess flash and poor quality casting as far as possible, based and mounted, but now need painting (Ooops, out of black spray basecoat...)
The Strelkovy are all done, as are the heavy and light MGs and Mortars, all ensconced behind timber dug-outs
Waiting in the wings:
To be built:
Esci German 20mm Vierling Quad (part built) AA and Pak 40, Pak 38 (unbuilt)
Armourfast LeFH18 x 2
German Pionier Bridge layer halftrack
Tigers and Panthers (As if I don't have enough already)
