AT last Zvezda 1:100 vehicle that don't need converting to produce useful variant.

Overall while still delicate it is both simple and great looking.

Errr Pz-II; StuG III; Sdkfz 222; Matilda I; Matida II; Cruiser Mk IV; ……..I could go on but I have used most of my Zvezda kits straight from the box.

You see the point early war stuff..

Nothing except sdkfz 222 works well beyond 1942 and some don't work beyond 1940… But those are actually proper models..

T34 with rare gun, and KV with even rarer gun are worst criminals here..

Virtually all T34 with L11 gun were lost in 1941 and that's one can say about those few KV with early gun mount too.. ;(

I can be quite precise in proper models I want to use :)

PzIV F2 is first spot on.
I will use Earlier Pz Iv model alongside it for Desert, and I use PzIII Flamm as Pz III 50mm.

Worst thing is T26 with connical Turet – one have to built it from ChemicalT 26 and BT5 turret :O

Yeah I suppose I am a bit more laid back than some wargamers. It comes from being one of the generation who grew up using the Arfix Sherman as every M-4 there was. Until the matchbox kit came out we converted some to Fireflies by adding the Long barrels left over from Arfix Pzr IVs which had been made up as F1s. ;-)
