At the Frontline - WW2 in 20mm

[V]

While obsolete to the Allies, the Red Army had a fondness for the Valentine tank and it was kept in production to supply them. Often used as a recce tank, they saw service right till the end of the war on Europe.

1/72 PSC kit, with added Smoke Dischargers and fuel tank with AB crewman…

My first attempts at 1/72 3d printed models from the Night Sky licence held by PSC.

First a Panzer IV/70(A), a jagdpanzer design I'm always fond of as it looks so daft! 






Next an Alkett produced Sturmgeschütz III with Sauköpf mantlet and waffle pattern zimmerit… I left off the schurzen so as not to cover it up!





All in all, very pleased with the look and detail of the prints. Certainly saves alot of building time over kits, but the open hatch option is key.

Superb.

Lovely stuff.
You are right about the Russians & the Valentine.
I read an interview with a Russian tanker. He said it was his favourite because it was much lower than T34s & KVs.
He even gave an example. A Tiger was holding up an advance & taken out several T34s. The Valentine however was
able to sneak around it & take it out from behind.

That’s sounds more like a game of “What a tanker”

Excellent job on those, Piers

Fantastic work as always, properly wheathered👍 I agree on the Panzer IV/70(A), maybe it's the 1980's Volvo brick style design that speaks to me... I might have to go for a PSC print, never found a metal or plastic kit in 15mm, only the more "sleek" design...
