Long Time, No Post 5.

Still working through 15mm models. Seeing a theme here? Onto Soviets now. Here's a nationality that I had little interest in for a long time, but then I discovered their late war forces - forward detachments and massed T-34/85s. plus, they're fairly quick to paint, because Uncle Joseph believed in quantity and standardisation.

The forward detachment force has a couple of lend lease M3 scout cars in the mix. BF models with Soviet crews from BF:






As the Soviet steamroller pushed them back towards Berlin, the Germans left a lot of equipment on the field, which the Soviets happily put back into service. Detachments of cunning scouts - spetznaz troops - would use captured vehicles to get close to German positions. So, we have three German halftracks being used by the Russians:





All the models are BF, resin for the Sdkfz 250, plastic for the bigger ones. The 251 models don't go together as well as one would wish for a BF product - there are slight gaps in various corners, but again, at 3 feet, it's hard to see these flaws.
