Defined more accurately as a Pyrograve pen that I use for weld and welding plastic strips into gaps. Got this direct from Historex in 1994(England) and it has 'never missed a beat'.

For sure but I need to finish a few more details first as well as adding the Zimmerit
Nice, so you'd think I could dial down the temp on my Hakko soldering station and get the same effect. Of course it would toast the tip, i'll get one dedicated to plastic.

You won't regret it. I find it really handy for heaps of things.

It was time to get this 'Shelf Queen" on the move again after 6 years. Zimmerit underway to be as close as I can get to the vehicle pattern and damage. WIP.
Previous progress.......

It was probaly from a JS2 at reasonably close range.

Neat photos to go by. Anyone know what those 8 wheeled tracked vehicles are trundling down the middle of the street?
British vehicles, including those Alecto A25 E2 SPGs, which has me wondering why an IS2 would be engaging the dug in tank.
I'd say someone took a pop shot at the knocked out Panther. Let's not get hung up on this and let Ian create for us!

The picture shows the 11th Hussars, 7th Armored Division's reconnaisance regiment, in Berlin in the summer of 1945. They had received two Alecto I's in June 1945. The plan in late 1944 was that each reconnaisance regiment would receive 4 vehicles. Production delays meant none reached units until June 1945. British units used them post-war in Germany and Palistine until 1955. None survived the scrap yard.
They were derived from the Tetrach airborne tank. They were armed with a 95mm howitzer firing HEAT or Smoke shells. The maximum on road speed was 50km/h.

I would guess this is post war and those Alecto I SPGs were in the British sector. The Russians did most of the encirclement and destruction of Berlin so its conceivable a JS1 02, T34/85, or SU 85/90/120 got the kill on this makeshift defensive point.

Would that be a version of the Christie suspension system?

Its a Vickers-Armstrong version. The Alecto used a skid steer system, the two centre roads wheels bowing the track.

That's neat, googling.
