Hi Glen,

Real joy to see cheap models turned into little gems ... that is all what modelling is all about, and why not everyone has these oldies lying in the cupboard so why not check them out again, I was amazed how the maquette tracks fit well, I have always been unrelactent to use ... were they troublefree?

So regarding figures, Tristar is a good choice but be aware that they are from the 43-45 period when the Soviets started using 'chinese colar-like' vests, [the ones underneat the tank overalls]. If you are doing a tank pre these dates you have to take the vest completrly off [the easiest way] or change them to the early war period with flyes ... only zvezda used to do a pre-war set in plastic thou faces need to be changed with resin ones [like hornet]

Hope it was of help so far ...

Ivan
