I’m sure it’ll work out cheaper than buying all the bits separately, else what would be the point of selling it as a set?

Different! The only thing I would say, is if it's the BERLIN wall, why is all the graffiti in English?

Interesting. This appears to be the last (fourth) type of wall built (“Stützwandelement UL 12.11”), built from 1975 on. It would be suitable for a vignette or diorama taking place somewhere in the centre of Berlin but not the wall surrounding West Berlin. That looked like this:

Berlin Wall by Jakko Westerbeke, on Flickr
(That’s a picture from inside the East German former-no-man’s-land, BTW.)

Also, it won’t really represent the (remains of the) wall ca. mid-1990: for that, you’ll need to take off the outer surface and build it to represent that its outer face has been chipped off, then spray it with random colours and add a figure with a small stall selling pieces of concrete in front of it.

The only thing I would say, is if it's the BERLIN wall, why is all the graffiti in English?

Because much of the graffiti was in English. A lot of it wasn’t as artistic as what Paul’s posted, though.

There's some German graffiti on my Berlin Wall model, so there......


Just for fun, the temptation was just too much.

Sorry Dave. Well, it is the week-end...........:thumb2:

Slightly different turret to other T-60s, I believe
Dave

Complete with internals, I know this is just another way to increase sales but how many fully internal builds do we see displayed , and it won't be cheap either.

John,
the original goes for about £34 , so I'm guessing that this version will be the same

On the Zvezda Facebook page - pictures of a finished T34/76 soon to be released
That looks rather nice - I might be tempted - it'll depend on the pricing

Their PO-2, with pilots - not very inspiring boxart!



Four braille scale models in a box - all previous releases, I believe. The ATZ is a fuel tanker

I hope theyve included some women pilots among the 7 figures dave , the most famous use of the po2 was the female crewed night bombing / harrassment squadrons - the infamous night witches( nachthexen) if not ICM have missed a trick . Cheers tony

Agreed Tony. 23 heroes of the Soviet Union awards and an average of 800 missions each would be worth celebrating...
