Bed Spring Armor for Flames Of War

Vatutin writes:

Most were manufactured by forward maintenance units and were not bed springs. The Soviets own field tests in March'45 showed that they did not work, and their issue was continued only as a way of boosting morale.

Bed Spring Armor (SU960)

In 1945, the Soviets began to fit mesh-spaced armor to the side of their tanks and assault guns to give added protection against weapons such as the Panzerfaust. This quickly became known as bed-spring armor, due to it looking like the sprung metal base of a bed.

This pack includes six plastic sprues of 1:100-scale bedspring improvised armor, three with the square pattern and three with the diamond pattern, allowing you to give you Soviet tanks extra protection as well as visual interest.

There are modelling guides on the Flames of War website to help you make the most of this product: Painting Bed Spring Armour… and Adding battle damage to Bed Spring Armour.
