Work In Progress / Re: The Panzer IV Digital Library - Winter Track Links 180409
« on: April 10, 2018, 07:51:00 am »
The Germans had 2 types of winter track , WinterKetten and OstKetten . The WK was developed first , and while it worked , the extensions , ( which were part of the track link not add-ons like duck bills ) tended to snap off on hard turns . OstKetten which was a much more robust track link , almost shaped like a Tiger track link . The Germans also had add on ice cleats , in fact most modern tanks have them in a bin or like the German Leopard , mounted on the hull

Paint job on Danica looks great , you really nailed the shades of black . At first glance I though the 2nd figure might be Finn from Star Wars ,  nice work on the dark skin tones ,  I've never managed to figure that  out

I would have thought if Warlord was  going to all the trouble to make the Croc trailer , they would have released it with the Churchill Mk VII . Its really only a few changes to the hull , round side doors and driver's visor , and a new cast turret . Its like releasing the Ferdinand hull , but instead of the SPG casement you get the early Tiger P upper body and turret , oh wait , that would be awesome , I want one  ::)

Oh  that's  the 40 K forum . Never got bitten by the space fantasy bug , find it hard to paint tanks red or blue  and cover them in skulls  :o

I think your right Pinky . Now that I'm sober and found my glasses  ::)    , that's the impression I'm getting too . Hopefully it's a real  future release and not a April Fool joke

The one on the left looks like a variant of the BA 6 or 10 armored car . You would use the lower hull / drive train from your GAZ truck and , depending on variant , turrets from your T-26 kit . I'll take two to start   ;D . All ways wanted to model this scene


 The fuzzy one on the right is a mystery to me  :-[

Here's a few damaged turret pictures from the Mythical Weapon book







This is what happens when the turret with the bolted rear plat brews up

There are 7 distinct types of the flat pan turret according to Myth Weapon , what do we have in plastic  , 2 from Rubicon and 1 from Warlord . Lots of room for kit bashing

 . Unlike panzer IV , which had a seperate port ,, the 34's was welded to the turret , the internal stuff moved , not the outside . And if the tank blew up , the  blast would blow open the roof/ Driver hatch and / or remove the turret . Never seen blow out turret vision ports on T-34



Notice glancing blow on vision port , pretty good welding  ;D picture from Squadron / Signal T-34 in Action
