Hi everyone,

I'm looking at starting the Maquette BT-2 (w/PE), and I was stumped by what I saw in the directions. One of the options in painting it for winter '41 action calls for a white tank, with blue stripes. I can't confirm this paint job in any of my references, so if some more knowledgeable soul can indeed confirm the colors, I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks,
Mika H

Yes, this cammo is correct for the Russio-Finnish front of WWII...not sure if they used this paint scheme against the germans. Look up info on the T-35 and it should also be there.

Jacques,

The directions state that the camo was used in the winter of 41-42 counterattacks around Moscow, so I guess if the camo is right, then I'll go with their word as to the time and place as well.

Thanks for looking this up,
Mika

hi all the original russian books do say that this was used but recent research has thrown a spanner in the works , some now say the blue in fact a light grey ,, myself i would go with the light blue till a definate answer is forthcoming cheers ian
