![]() ![]() ![]() These Mir tanks were great for wargames, very simple and durable, just like the real T34 series. CZ is now two countries, Soviet Union is broken up, and they don't make Mir models anymore, and no one under 40 years old has ever had a pen pal! Since I got these tanks 40 years ago I figured it was time to paint them! The artillery is the 122mm Soviet howitzer by Zvezda in 1/72nd scale. I got them from a pen pal in Czechoslovakia back during the Cold War they were made in the Soviet Union. ![]() As far as I know the SdKfz never carried an 81mm mortar, but it could have, so I used one of my surplus ones to make the conversion. It took a while to get that blocked off before I did the painting. The Roco SdKfz 234 has a huge space between the upper and lower hull which I noticed when I did the mortar conversion. ![]() It makes an M47 AVLB which never existed in US service, but it looks cool. The AVLB bits are from the Roco AVLB on a M48 tank. The M47 hull is some odd model I got that was terrible and I only salvaged the hull and tracks. Roco M48 tank based armored vehicle launched bridge, Tiger tank turret conversion, M47 AVLB bridge launcher, and Roco conversion of the SdKfz 234/ 81mm mortar carrier. Mir T34/76 tanks and a couple T34 armored recovery vehicles converted from the Roco T34 tank. These are Paul Heiser Models US 2 1/2 ton trucks and some home made cargoes. The last couple days have been batch painting days. ![]()
