Found while I was looking for stuff on their SMERSH figures.

Turret casting is wrong for the markings, but would do nicely for an NKPA one. Does anybody know more?

Hi David,

I've never built any of their kits but I have seen their models on:

www.netmerchants.co.uk - search under manufacturer/scale

They do quite a lot of Soviet stuff and some German vehicles and figures. Lots of Soviet AT guns.

I didn't see a T34 but if it still exiists I'm sure Mike would get you one. Interesting T35 on there.

I'm not sure if you needed this information but I hope it is of use.

Al

To save on the cost of the Tasca offering I bought the Alanger Luchs and found it to be a joy to build, even dorn to a photoetched star antenna being included. I added Fruil tracks and once finished I shall post some pictures. Give it a go as they are of a much higher quality than their price suggests.

I found that the Snetterton Model shop [next to the Market, but open all week] keeps a good range and will probably attempt to get you anything you want, if they have a source.

Regards,

John

The T-35 is presumably the one that ICM (and then IDK) did, since there was definitely some sort of relationship between Alanger and ICM along the line. Same goes for some of the artillery, as I've got the 76mm regimental gun in an ICM box with the same figures (and also a limber and draught horse).

Thanks for the pointers
