discussion Soviet Tank Group Build

[Lee Drennen]

I thought about starting this last year but let it go so I’ve gotten more braver so here it goes.
Build a Soviet Tank of your choice any Scale and any Year from the first Soviet tank Lend Lease, Captured Tanks to the Cold War till now as long as the Soviet Union used or had them. It can be Box Stock, Resin or you can Customize it by adding aftermarket parts PE or upgrades and it can’t be over 1/4 built. You may have figures with it or a diorama or just stand alone what ever you feel comfortable with. The GB will be from February 1st till April 30. I’ve never built a Soviet Tank and this will be my second GB I’ve hosted so be gentle. Like Ike said on D Day “ Let’s Go”

Good luck with it.

Yes as long as the Soviets used it and it was in there hands. Also includes captured Tanks. Thanks Andrew for pointing that out I’ll fix that now.
