Im trying to do some research about Kolobanov. I have found 2 pieces of information. His tank number was 864 and he was part of the 1st Tank Division. From information I have gathered and from forum discussions, it has been thought that Kolobanovs tank was probably a KV-1E. I have a few questions and hopefully there are some Russian Gurus around.

1. Was his tank a KV-1E?
2. Did they paint the tank number on the turret? (I have seen pics of russian tanks with propaganda writing on it and i have seen pictures with numbers on the turret but it doesnt seem to be a constant thing.)

Any other comments or information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Brian, I got my information from PST when i built there 1/72 scale KV-1, according to them the number was painted on the turret in white. Apparently his tank took over 100 hits!

THanks Darren. What does PST stand for?

Here's the last time Kolobanov came up
