If some one will give me bone head instructions on how to post a photo I would love to join in I have a BT-7 that would do.

Bob



Hi Bob!
To post a photo you have to:
1. Upload it on some server (you can use KitMaker Gallery or some other photo servers)
2. When you want to post a picture on a forum all you have to do is write
[ i m g ] http:// here put full url of your pic [ / i m g ] (just don't use spaces in code lines - I used them to make code visible) and it's done!

Happy posting!

Thank you Andrezj for that information, it makes sense now. I will try your directions and post my photo. Again thanks for the info.

Hello everyone:

Question. Does anyone have or know what reference that I could use for a BT-7 Model 1937 Early Version on the Russian front. I am not finding very much that is helping me with color schemes.

Hi Bob,
I did not find much but it may help you:
this is BT-7 (1935-40) as used in Poland in '39 (24th Tank Brigade)

and this is BT-7A (1934-37) (unknown division, '41, near Lwow).

Andrezj thanks for the profiles they give me somthing to work with. The one at LWOW in 1941 were they Polish or Russian crews in the tank and what battle was going on at that time in Poland?

Mike,

I just finished my first 2 campaigns and found both to be good incentive to finish two kits. Count me in for this one too.

Regards,

I couldn't find any interesting scheme of Eastern Front Tiger II, but HERE you go with Panther:
1.Company 51. Panzer Batalion , Kursk, 1943.

Just realized I've a Dragon T-34/76 mod.1940 with complete Trakz interior and Fruil tracks somewhere burried in my stash as well. When I have enough time I may do this one next to my Lee as well. Also still have a half-finished KV-1.....maybe not suitable as entry, but I can at least finish it 'in the spirit of this campaign'

Very nice so far Martin. I'm going to build T34-76 '43 version. I'm expecting to see some more thirty-fours during this campaign . Maybe I'll manage to find some time and rebuild my T34-85 model I've built several years ago (my first 1:35 model - it needs some refreshing ).

Only 10 more days and we're off - can't wait to take my T34 out from the box .
I hope that six months will be enough to finish this monster.

I am looking forward to this one as well. I have an old Marder II kit that I would like to make. I will hunt down your T-34 with my Marder II.

No way, Jesper - mine is 1/16 so your marder will simply go flat under my T34 tracks .
Now I'm studing instructions and it's going to be great fun with this monster's building. Anyway: Day0-10...

Got a 1/72 trumpeter tiger as my first tank since coming back to the hobby. Been building flappy things for the last year. Looking forward to getting muddy for a change. It is a late production model, would like to do it in a winter camo, would this be realistic?

I'm counting down the days as well! Just not sure what I will tackle. I have a BT-7, T-26, T-28, T-34 1940, T-70, Su-76 and pile of KVs that are all possible contenders.

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

Wow, Grant. Sounds like you have a full Soviet tank battalion there

I am saying go for the T-28. That will be nan interesting build to follow

Looking forward to get started - 67 years after the the real thing.

Hi!
At first I have a question - is campaign leader still active? I haven't seen him for a while here...

Anyway - as promissed: some pictures from Barbarossa's beginning reenactment. One of first places where Molotov's line was attacked during Barbarossa was near the Sanok town and San river (it's ~40km form where I live). This is where the reenactment took place.







And here is your humble Kriegsreporter :



If you are interested you can find more pics HERE and a short video HERE (in Polish).

I hope you'll find it inspiring for work - it sure inspired me .

Thanks for the pic/post. A lot of great reference photos. The terrain looks just like where I live. Even the color of the clay looks like it came from my backyard. A lot of neat pictures thanks again.
