Needs a ZIS-2 on the back.

You can do some pretty amazing things with a brush and oil paints.

The Crusader is very interesting. The 6-pounder versions had the MG turret removed to make room for more ammo, but this isn't a 6-pounder armed Crusader. I wonder if the 6-pounder was replaced or if the turret was somehow lost.

Wow, good eye! Sherman V, T-147976, "COCK O'THE NORTH", Turret No. 11, of "A" Sqn HQ.

Hehe, cock

DAMN! That's a fine looking Su-76?   How are you doing the weathering and panel wear?

Colour modulation plus oil dots. This was my first time doing oil dots, I thought that I ruined the model but then it turned out to be okay.

Good stuff, I haven't seen British mobility trials of the PzII yet.

Keychains, but surprisingly well done ones compared to what you can usually pick up at a museum gift shop.

Very much not to scale, but I got a few more tanks.

This has to be a Jumbo, right?

@Andrei_bt posted this archive on Livejournal, I'm going to share it here. This folder has the English language documents and books, if you go one up there's a ton of Russian stuff. The server is very wonky, so if you download anything (click the checkbox and then Скачать in the toolbar above) only do one or two docs at a time. Also the site periodically 404s, but it always comes back.

Anyone familiar with this author?

From a brief overview of his books they seem a bit sensationalist and more analytical than technical (even though he is an engineer), but he also opposes Suvorov/Rezun, so that's something. I can't find what book this is supposed to be translated from, it might be an adaptation of "June 1941: a pre-programmed defeat". 

Maybe they thought it was a machinegun hole and put a fake MG barrel in there?

Found some 75 year old plagiarism: a Ferdinand drawing in a Russian report and a British report.

Stats on the M4A2 in the "Tank Industry Herald" magazine, 1944. The only interesting part is that the manufacturer is stated as Fisher Body. Were all Soviet Shermans Fishers, or just this one happened to be?

Tag your favourite part of the video, mine is the footage of a T-26, BA-10, and something that looks like a T-40 or T-60.
