Now that my pre-Christmas spending spree on Corgi tanks is at an end, I decided to mount a 'review' of my tank park. First, the Russians ...
This is a very homogeneous collection of vehicles, and includes fourteen T34/76 and ten T34/85 tanks.
The same cannot be said of the Germans ...
This collection includes six short-barrelled and four long-barrelled Pzkpfw IV, four Pzkpfw VI Tiger 1, and three Pzkpfw V Panther tanks.
When added to my small collection of ROCO Minitank tanks and vehicles, I probably now have sufficient 1:87th-scale equipment to seriously think about fighting an Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War campaign at some time in the future. I also have quite a lot of as yet unpainted 20mm metal figures that are compatible with these vehicles, and one thing that I am thinking of doing after Christmas is beginning the process of turning some of this pile of lead into painted figures that I can use with my Corgi tanks.

Impressive tank park there, just need a few support vehicles, guns and infantry and your ready for the Eastern front!
ReplyDeleteDon M,
ReplyDeleteI have quite a lot of stuff 'in stock' that I will be able to use. I may be short of a few trucks ... but they should not be too difficult to acquire.
All the best,
Bob
Great collection, thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteGuidowg,
ReplyDeleteI hope to have some of them in action on the tabletop after Christmas. All I need to do is to paint some infantry and support weapons ... and then the fighting can start.
All the best,
Bob
