So I have the Cyber-Hobby "T-34/76 mod.1942 Hexagonal Turret Soft Edge Type" kit. Gotta love those names. The markings are the usual Dragon vague attempt: "unidentified unit, eastern front".:
Has anyone had any luck figuring out which units these two are from? I'd like to do it from Kursk and have all the orders of battle I need, I just don't know which units these belong to. I know it wouldn't have been whitewashed during Kursk given it was in July-August, but the unit might be right.
Thanks for your help!

The Soviets themselves were notoriously non-specific with their markings, on purpose, to give the German's as little intel as possible. You may have to fudge and say the first one COULD have been there, or you need specific shots of a specific tank at Kursk to model (and will probably have to make your own decals or hand paint the markings).
Sorry I do not have a more upbeat answer. Maybe someone else has better knowledge?
