A couple of deliveries for stock, discreetly delivered here at WMD HQ so that Mrs. Woody doesn't know about them unless she reads this!
Having built the T34/85 WW2 tank last year I was surprised to find that they had a later life with several armies including the Egyptian forces. Initially slightly upgraded but looking much the same as captured in the MiniArt kit that I now have.
Once they reached the end of their useful life the Egyptians used the chassis to mount a new 122mm howitzer in a larger turret in the late 1950's. They lasted into the 1970s. A Chinese kit producer, Ryefield, have produced a kit for this variant so I now have that. This will enable me to have a range of T34 tanks spanning the 1940's through to the 1970's which should be interesting.
Just hope Mrs.Woody doesn't read this........
