Bit late for the party Lee, but can I join in please?

Ron

Sorry Ron for the late reply yes please I’ll add you to the list

Lee is the final arbiter, but I'd say, it's armed, armoured & Soviet - so I reckon it could be admissible!
Dave

Thanks Dave can you tell me what that is??

Thanks Dave can you tell me what that is??

It's an Aerosan - an armoured cabin on skis, powered by an aircraft engine & propeller! The Russians had several variants - obviously used in the Northern Russian winter - unique to the Soviets

That’s cool looking Mr.Ward is pretty spot on when it come to anything Millitary so I trust his judgement so go ahead and I’ll add you to the list

Thanks Lee, will have to research how to use PE - a lot of little bits to be bent up into channel fixings for the skis :surprised: :thumb2:

These are extremely unusual vehicles, but apparently very versatile. Have seen them in use in other applications during WW2 as well......I recently spotted one being used as a winter ambulance by the Wehrmacht. Not sure what country......could have been anywhere in east Europe or even Russia.

When I bought the armoured kit, also bought a couple of the unarmoured kits (only one little bit of PE in them! :smiling5: :smiling5: ) with the idea of a dio of workshop/shed and some mechanics prepping them for action.
