- bsmartWait a minute - I seem to remember something about the towing eyes or hooks on the front of T-34s. Deep in my memory the model company (Tamiya?) used one of the ones at Aberdeen that we had captured from the Germans. The towing eyes had been added by the Germans. When the model company did it they included them not realizing they were a German addition?
Did I come close?

- Doug_KibbeyWell, while not nearly as nice or reflective of as much effort, it's time to show solidarity with Roy and demonstate some of the same foibles...since I used all the stuff in the box. Mainly, I wanted something in a winter whitewash to contrast with all the O.D. in my case, and this was the outcome. Blast away.....
(Yes, I have not put the antenna back in since I moved last...I'm lazy that way)

A.: Very nice! I like! I see your's still has the Aberdeen tow bar eyes also!
B.: As for blasting away, you have the same problem with your Russian tanks I have. People keep asking me what is holding my rose bush de-ditching logs and wooden boxes on. In your case, it's that lose end of the towing cable that is just laying on the fender.

- A-109EActually, Doug, I think it's quite nice. The overall impression is that of a real (well used) vehicle.
- Roy_A_LingleHi Bob (A109)! Hi Folks!
Now that Bob has your attention, time for some AFV tests!

Russian SU-85
It's a SU-85, however can anyone ID the type of 85mm cannon that is carried on this version of the SU-85?
Standard Russian SU-85s mounted the M-1939 modified 85mm anti-aircraft gun.
- A-109E...and from the legendary pages of "The Glue", here's Roy's Crusader Mk III.

Attaboy for Roy, nice Crusader, although a bit on the brown side.
- Jens_O_MehnerStill waiting for Mr Steinbrunn's works, could even be something old and out of FSM...
