Next project with my own CAD-crafted soviet
PT-3 minerollers is to be able to use these
together with my german collection of models.
Reading the history a lot of the vehicles
and equipment conquered by the germans during
WW2 ended up being used towards their former
owners and sometimes also upgraded.
For some time ago I ordered 3+3 "beutepanzers"
as the germans named their conquered vehicles
from the 3d-service Mad about 3d/ADM.
I choose the KV-1 with cuppola, and a PAK-40-gun
and a T-34 also with cuppola but with schuerzen-
plates both on the turret and the hull.
These models will be very nice to use as mine-clearer
because in my opinion the germans themselves had
poor design when it comes to these kind of tasks.
The minerollers will be modular and placed on singular
bases to be able to use these models to a variety of
scenarios. Very nice addition indeed!!!
Unusual additions to your collection; can't say I'd ever heard of them .
SvaraRaderaThankyou very much Joe. They were used and especially when the german retreat started and they were short in materials and other supplies. At start they gave conquered equipment mainly to units that had joined from other countries but over time it became common practice all over.
