setting the east ablaze Tachanka

[ragnar69]

Hi all has anybody attempted to scratch build a Russian Tachanka wagon if so can you please give me some ideas or your knowledge of this regards

There's
Plenty of good examples of them on the market.
If its just for the pleasure of the build then its a very simple build. Just for speed and ease I'd recommend a kit.
Warbases do a complete one for £15 with the option of purchasing the wagon crew and horses separately (£5 for the card and mdf carriage.)

That said there are some better quality versions offered by several members of the forum

Mark.

Bought two of these from Sarissa - released this month was pleasantly suprised - quite delicate and does not seem as 'clunky' as in the pic.

Hi von S, thanks for posting this.

I am (still) on the lookout for a tchanka model that will fit in well with Copplestone figures and this could be it.  Can I ask what you have done for crews and horses?

Hi
 Planning to use  plastic ones looking for those perhaps Victrix with as few harnesses/saddle as required - for the crew I am planning to convert some from the Soviet plastic sprues including the Winter one from Warlord.

This is the Warbase version.
All in £15 including vat.
(The separate crew including machine gun £4 definitely useful for other vehicles. At that price its worth a punt)

I can second that the separate crew for £4 are really really useful. They fit in most vehicles as drivers and passengers. With headswaps and light conversion I have so far made them into Norwegians, Germans, British, and an African rebel.

Ooh, the Sarissa one is really nice! The Warbases looks more like a factory made WW2 tachanka.
