Should be more like 'How fast can you get this bucket of bolts to the front'. It does have the infamous Christie suspension/tracks.

Gerry,

Great work!

I think you did a great job on the collar insignia. The figures are wonderful - the tanker in front of the glacis, it looks like you painted his eyes turned towards his komrad in that "I hope NKVD doesn't come next" look.

What kits?

The tank - I really enjoy the wear and tear: not too much, not to little.

Those BT7 waffle iron track links - love them!

Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment.

They were not the best tanks of the war.

The figures are ICM and the Tank is Eastern Express.

Very nice build, weathering and figure painting.
I am not sure what is malfunctioning/broken in particular on the tank. I see the wrench in one of the tanker's hand but no other indication of what they are going to try and repair. Maybe I missed it.

They are trying to get out of the next suicidal charge their officers have scheduled for them by faking a break down.

That's what I thought when I posted the title.

Now I understand. I thought I missed a track problem or open engine cover or something more or less subtle.
