Zvezda T-26 Flamethrower (15mm)
« on: November 01, 2017, 09:55:45 PM »


Here's another of Zvezda's 1:100 scale snap-together WWII Soviets — the T-26 Chemical Projector (or flamethrower, as other armies would have described it).

Considering the mortality rate amongst Soviet armour of the period, I really doubt that a tank would be likely to have survived long enough to get this tatty and battered, but I like to filth them up from time to time.

That's probably how they looked before the battle. The Soviet pre-war motor pool wasn't exactly kept in tip-top condition.

Lovely work.

Nicely done. You must have put together 30+ (?) different kits this year alone!

and, as Robert Forczyck points out, a lot of vehicle in late summer, fall, and early winter, were coming from training centers. I assume, from my own experience, training vehicles would have been quite tatty...  lol they are used!
