As previously shown here, I already have a basic Team Yankee American force… but who doesn't want more tanks?

The manufacturer was kind enough to provide a boxed set for TMP, and our friends at Old Guard Painting in Ukraine built and painted the models for us.

I asked the painters to match the painting scheme shown on the box.

A minor flaw is the numbering of the tanks and placement of command figures: what I received are 66 (command), with 13, 22, 24 and 55. My instructions had asked for 11, 13, 21 (commander), 23 and 66 (commander) to match my planned TOE.

So I received one tank with the commander exposed, and the other tanks with hatches down.

I chose to base the tanks on LITKO 3mm wooden bases and FlexSteel underneath, which keeps the models secure when stored in magnet-lined boxes.

I thought about gluing the turrets down, but decided to leave them able to rotate.
