They certainly add some 1941 period colour, and make great photo opportunities for the Gero:) Martin Rapierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788664847205341619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410063836503200299.post-63217593982662243032021-07-01T00:16:09.728-07:002021-07-01T00:16:09.728-07:00Me too.

I wonder if I should look for some for my own Barbarossa; do you know, were they employed haphazardly, say in platoon packets, or only in homogenous battalions/regiments? <br /><br />Sorry to ask, not looking for you to do any research for me, you've just been such a wealth of knowledge I figured you may know off-hand.<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410063836503200299.post-63762813160551029282021-06-30T02:36:44.886-07:002021-06-30T02:36:44.886-07:00The spare turrets would be useful for armoured tra...The spare turrets would be useful for armoured trains or river monitors if you like scratch building.Nigel Druryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635742503102210394noreply@blogger.com
