Supply lines - Russian GAZ-AAA Truck

Hello there,

again, I needed some time to present something new to you. I've been busy (again) in the last month, now living in Berlin und actually working full time, which leaves less time for the hobby and even less time for blogging and shooting pictures. Because of that I'll present something to you I finished some time ago.

I painted a Russian truck for my Barbarossa campaign setting. It's not easy to find some trucks for this period! In the end I took a GAZ-AAA from UM Models, a Ukrainian manufacturer. It's a highly detailed and complex model set and was annoying to built. This is no wargaming model for sure!

Russian armour: my Soviet tank forces

Hi there,

in order to play a game properly I was fortunately forced to finish some tanks which were standing around for some time. I took the chance to make some pictures, so you can have a look!

All models are fast assembly kits. The decals are not included, and so bought separately (only very few fast assembly kits contain decals). I painted them all in the same way: black primer, GW catachan green, a black wash, drybrushing with catachan green and camo green. The dirt is a brown (I used a scenery colour).

1. BA - 6

These fast assembly models are made by Pegasus, one of the best manufacturer of plastic tanks. They are detailed, easy to build and very robust, which makes them perfect for wargaming purposes

2. BT - 7

Also made by Pegasus.

3. T - 34/76

Made by Armourfast. Though cheap and easy to build, they are not very detailed and can't keep up with Italeri or Pegasus.

4. KV - 1

Also Pegasus models. The box contains 4 turrets, which makes it very versatile

5. KV - 2

The same models as in 4., but with KV - 2 turrets.
