Additions to the Russian Front Painted.

OK, here are some of the near finished products from "Fall-In!" for my NAZI panzer and communist tank battalions.

For Ten Rounds Rapid (TRR), equipment numbers are scaled down to roughly 1:3 ie one tank representing three tanks, or roughly one platoon.

According to some TO&Es I got from the GHQ website, the German panzer battalion of the period ~1942 would have had one heavy company of PzIVs, two medium companies of PzIIIs, and a total equaling about one company of light tanks such as Pz 38s or more commonly PzIIs. Unfortunately I could not find the packs of Pegasus Pz 38s at the show or at Gettysburg's hobby shops, so that part will have to wait.

The two "companies" of medium PzIIIs. I actually bought two different versions of the PzIII tank, so I had to convert a bit. I shortened the barrels of the later versions to match their early counterparts and left off the kit provided skirt armor.

Shown here is the Armourfast PzIII and PzIV. Sadly I could not find any of the 20mm  PSC  PzIV I had been planning on getting, but I found enough Armourfast kits to make up for it. This is one of the earlier posted PzIVs except I shortened the barrel and added a hull MG.

 Up next are the Soviet purchases.

I actually got all the soviet tanks I needed at one of the fine Gettysburg soldier shops, and did not need to hunt for any more at the show. I got three packs of the Pegasus BT-7, one pack of KV-1/2, and two packs of Armourfast T-34s. Oddly I happened to get both the retooled and original kits from the same store, accidentally of course or I would not have bought the low quality original; pictures in a moment.

According to the GHQ website again, Soviet tank battalion~1942: Heavy company of KV-1, one medium company of T-34s, and one light company of T-26,60, or BT-7. Plus the odd recon, I'm still working out the details for this, and the HQ for both battalions.

The kits assembled thus far.

This is the NEW retooled version of the  Hat T-34...

...and this is the junky old version, a stark difference even more realized in real life. 

This is the Pegasus Hobbies BT-7, a very nice kit which I'm quite happy with. I literally  built both kits from the box in less that five minutes!

Finally, this is the Pegasus KV-1, 1941 version. This is one of the kits I built years ago, I think I will continue with this color scheme for the rest of the Soviet tanks, it is just a little too dark for my taste though, opinions?

Good evening/day everyone, don't forget to vote tomorrow to my American friends. Just remember that "real" unemployment is over 10%, the manufacturing sector is contracting for months in a row, the services sector has declined the last month, the navy is smallest since WW1...whatever.
Who's fault is it? Probably a ton of people, vote accordingly.
