I play world of tanks...it is a fantastic game for those of you who play games worth a look see. I have thought to model the tanks I use. My primary tree so far has been German. We all know how much of that is available. But I have started a russian tree recently. I progressed froma an MS-1 (T-18) through a Bt -2 , Bt-7 , A-20, and am at a t-34 /76. I have the MS-1 kit you can get a BT 2 & 7 in 72nd. An A-20? Looks like a little t-34. OK ther are multiple varieties of t-34 which is good casue my next one is a 85mmm version. Then it gets weird for me. a KV-13 (?) Then a IS 1 and 3 no problem but how about a Stalin 4 and 7?

The US is a nightmare all teh heavies are prefaced by T which stood for test

But I would really like to do an IS7...It was one wicked looking track

Nice to see a fellow gamer here. I am Ivantheterrible. Surprising, right?

In 1/35:

T-18 (MS-1) was available from AER I believe. It is a moderate kit.

BT-2 - conversion from RPM or full kit from Tom Modelbau

BT-7 - Tamiya

T-50 - from Mirage

A-20 - I think there is a old Accurate Armour model of this in resin?

T-34 - See DML line

T-28 - plastic kit from ICM/Alanger...and yes, 1 did have the 85mm gun added as a prototype

T-26 - several kits, Zvezda being the best

T-43 - scratchbuild conversion

T-44 - Accurate Armour kit

T-54 - TWS conversion of Tamiya T-55 is best bet.

KV-1 and KV-2 from Trumpeter

KV-3 - scratchbuilt conversion

IS-1 and IS-2 - best from Tamiya (Is 1 being the 85mm armed version)

IS-3 - Tamiya

IS-4 - wait for Commander's Models upcoming kit (there is a kit from now defunct Navigator that would be just the same as scratchbuilding)

IS-7 - possible Commander's Models kit in future (2012/13?)

And yes, for the american line there is a lot of resin from Commander's Models that will cover some of them.

For German stuff, see all major plastic kit manufacturers lines...they have mulitples....of even the paper panzers. Sigh.

I play as jdeltaarrow

I have run into IvantheOK, but I don't think you yet. I am running a KT, Panda, PZ35, T-34/76, and just started an American tree with a M2 Med so far.


I obtained the T-18 kit...now to look for the BT7 kit. How about an L T Tracktor or a Cunningham? My MS1 was my primary tier 1 tank...so I am kinda good to go with what I used. I am kitbashing a VK 3601 out of a Trumpy VK 3001 and a Tam Tiger 1 with a long 75/70 metal barrel

for the russian tank destroyer line of things

The Cunningham is the T1E2. Lots of other American stuff there.

THX for info Jacques. Way too much for the 'ham. Think I'll wait for the IS7 or 4 to drop a bundle on. I just popped for $235 + shipping from Japan for that new Yamato...so I am a bit over budget ...'til say March

I will wait to see what Commander's stuff looks like at AMPS Nationals next year in Auburn Indiana. With that high priced resin stuff, I want to look and feel it first. I got the Formations M4A3E2 Jumbo that way and no regrets on that...

I'm a player too, and obviously I'm edklingon there!

I really really really love my BT-2, and started a affair with a brand new T34.
