The T-34 was the most widely produced Soviet tank of
the Great Patriotic War. This week I built two ARII 1/50th Scale
T-34 model kits. They were included in a box of gaming supplies I picked up at
Cangames in 2006. They have been in the cupboard ever since.

| ARII T-34s with 28mm Infantry for Scale |
These kits are for remote control motorized models
and I am sure the diehard model builders out there will slight me for not going
the extra mile and completing the kits as originally designed. All I intend to
do is run a mid-war Soviet tank platoon alongside my 28mm Soviet Infantry. I
have a third tank that has been shown in a previous posting. It too, was
purchased in the same box of models and game bits and is clearly a different
scale. That’s OK, it can be the Platoon Leader’s vehicle.
Today was a fabulous, warm day in Montreal. It was a
perfect day to sit on the balcony, catch up on some reading, take some photos and spray some minis.
The tanks were treated to a coat of Flames of War, Soviet Armour War Paint. Decals
and detailing need to follow.
