Thank you guys!

It is a perhaps 20-30 year old decal that I failed to attach properly because it fell apart, but I decided that it looked like it was hand painted by the semi litterate (and drunk) soviet tank destroyer commander, and left it on.

It says: "Produced in the Stalingrad Tractor Factory"

Cool. Maybe add: "с водкой и любовью"* (with vodka and love).

On the American tank is necessary to write "with whiskey and love"?  ;)

No. With Budweiser and a feeling of nausea.

Your KV-1 is absolutely beautifully done.  Does Hobbyboss suggest the track on the turret?  I don't recall seeing any KV pictures like that but I could be wrong.

Thank you!

The piece of track welded to the turret is my own idea.

Nice models, but writings on the side of the SU-85 are completely meaningless and unreadable. :(

So why ... The inscription can be read as: "Of the funds Stalinabad Tractor Plant". But is misspelled. But written, of course, nonsense. In Stalinabad (now this city is called Dushanbe - the capital of Tajikistan) has never been a tractor factory.

Dear Sirs, from your words I take it that you have never tasted the brew that made the author of the aforementioned scripture, the tajikistani tank commander Oleg Ghafurov,  famous throughout the 4th Guards "Kantemirovskaya" Tank Division. Made out of raisins, almonds, potatoes and brake fluid, it was said to make blind men see as well as seeing men blind, dumb men speak and illiterates write, as of which Sgt Ghafurov is living proof.

The list of ingredients reminds me the one of craft beers. :D
