COLD STEEL ENTRY SUMMARY AND SIGN UP

[MrT]

Ok boy's and girls it's just about time to be transfered to the Russian front. COLD STEEL is set to start December 1st.
So now is the time to get signed up. Here are the rules: You may do any subject: tracks, wheels, wings, foot sloggers, or
even floating things. The time period is winter 1941 to the end. European front only so no Japanese stuff. You must start
with fresh unstarted kit. Your first post must contain pictures of the unbuilt kit with the time stamp in the picture showing
your start date. Please don't take the pictures on December 1st and wait 6 months to post it. You can do as many models
as you want, but you must complete at least one to claim your ribbon. You will have year to complete your projects so
get your think melons turned on(sorry I have kids) and come up with some great ideas.

Great project!! There is nothing wrong with older kits.

 

[Iron Mike]

I'm in with either PzIV or Jagdpanzer IV L/70, the jury is still out, but it's one or the other.

Ok,RecceRonny is in.

Gonna be a freshly knocked out T-34 leaning against a German trench diorama.


Might be the same 'shitz' version T-34 as Mats is going to do.



Greetings,Ron.

I have a question on Russian tanks- didn't Russia have a double turrent tank in WW2? I think it was in the T series...

 

[kryptosdaddy]

It was the T-35. Sorry

If I can find one of these I may play.

 

[Sharkmouth]

Yes, they had the twin turret T-26 models. Both Mirage and Zvezda have a kit. Avoid the former manufacturer as it is based on the old Spojnia molds of the related 7TP Polish tank. The latter brand may also appear under the Italeri label.

Thanks Saul- the one i posted was the only one I saw on a Google search!

 

[Sharkmouth]

Thanks Saul- the one i posted was the only one I saw on a Google search!

The T-35 kit you posted was originally released by Alanger and re-boxed by ICM. The same for another multi-turreted tank with a far more interesting usage; the T-28:

The T-28 from Alanger was nicely molded but inaccurate in several details. The MUCH cruder and earlier T-28 kit from Aer has less wrong with it but is poorly molded:

[Iron Mike]

This really has me interested, but can't find any actual pictures of such a beast.

Do you think this would be too "What If" for this campaign? Sure looks like something that would have seen the Russian Front.

 

[kryptosdaddy]

From what I read online, it seems Alanger is OOB Saul. Thanks for the heads up on these kits- very interesting subjects.

 

[Iron Mike]

OK, Terry, you talked me into it. I'll do my Dragon Jagdpanzer IV L/70, just ordered the concrete armor conversion.

Cool Joe!! I will put you down.

 

[Old Dog]

Well, there are way too many ground targets here to pass this up. Put me down tentatively for the 1/32 Hobby Boss Il-2M. It may be a couple of months before I can start and if the 2M3 version is released before I start I will go with that instead !
