That's a great collection Bob - I particularly like the armoured cars
ReplyDeleteThat was a quote extensive Russian Army collection. Nice models!
ReplyDeleteI saw the T-20 Komsomoleyts Light Artillery Tractor during my visit to the Finnish Armour Museum last summer.

It is not a a very large vehicle, so I've considered to make one in 1:19th scale to go with my 16mm scale German Heeresfeldbahn since the tractor has been used by both Finns and Germans too. Being Narrow Gauge I don't think it can carry very large armored vehicles, if some at all, but this is not a very big one as it's actually smaller than sedan.
BOB,
ReplyDeleteVery extensive collection of vehicles- you have done well. KEV.
A fine army, Bob - and I'm especially fond of (jealous of) those tractors - especially the heavy ones! Superb.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Ion
A fine collection! And lots of transport.
