Carl,

As a long-time aficionado of Soviet armour, I can say that your T34/85 is
gorgeous without reservation.  It has a little element of JS-I to it (as
did the real thing in later production iterations)--a much larger
tank--and I love how you've simulated the Soviet crew uniforms with
available elements.  My only possible question is "how did you get two
people in the turret?"  I remember hearing many stories about the awful
and cramped interiors of Soviet WWII medium tank turrets.  (I've been in
one, but it was a 1944 T34/76, almost the worst of the lot.)

And yeah, what *is* motorised in the model?  And can we see it parked
with your Tiger?  ;)

best

Lindsay

:) the tracks and 6 cylinder engine are motorised,(same as the Tiger 1) I didnt have enough room to motorise the turret turner, as I was able to with the Challenger tank. I have made the model so that the motor can be removed in a matter of seconds (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
