Model kit Tuesday: my completed military model kits.

I have decided to dedicate Tuesday's video upload to model kits, let me what you think of this weekly appointment idea.

Matchbox made a Comet tank, not the Cromwell.

@@CZ350tuner that's right the Comet!

Thé Bedford MK looks particularly good Patrick.
Don’t worry about the green paint too much, as you say, all different shades, normally repainted by defaulters or whichever Company failed the Colonel’s run on a Friday morning!
It’s worth a few pound on the internet, built or unbuilt.
Lovely little model; I have it, the Saracen and the Bedford Re-fueller from the same range.
Which brand is the wee Soviet tank?

[@CZ350tuner]

One of my hobbies is 20mm. (1:72 / 1:76) WW2 wargaming, which I've been involved with since 1974.
I have a lot of T-26 models (or "Easy Kill Lemming Tanks", as one of my friends calls them).
I have:
T-26 model 1931 (twin machine gun turrets).
T-26 model 1932 (platoon commander tank with twin turrets, one with 37mm. L.30 PS-1 cannon).
T-26 model 1933 (single turret with 45mm. L.46 20K cannon).
T-26 model 1934 (platoon commander version of 1933 model with radio and "shoot me first" turret hand rail antenna).
T-26 model 1938 (armour increased to 22mm. and angled).
T-26 model 1939 (as with model 1938 but with rear turret machine gun and, occasionally, a radio receiver).
T-26 model 1940 (platoon commander tank with radio and whip antenna).
T-26A (T-26 model 1933 armed with 76mm. L.16.5 infantry cannon in a modified T-28 turret)
OT-26 (right hand turret only version of model 1931 armed with flame projector. Very easy to recognise, unfortunately).
OT-130 (model 1933 armed with flame projector. Looks like a normal T-26 model 1933, unless examined closely).
AT-1 (assault gun version armed with 76.2mm. L.26 cannon).

@@CZ350tuner Great list and I love your sense of humour too😊👍🏼
I gamed Micro Armour (1/200 scale) back in the mid to late 1980’s and early 1990’s.
Very good memories 😊

@@bugler75 it's made by Zvezda, the same as the Ural truck and the Polikarpov.

@@patricksmodels Thats interesting and great news as MK Bedfords are extremely rare now (Airfix and JB models).
I must have a look as I want a couple for an old diorama.
That’s if I can still get them in Western Europe !
Thanks for explaining that.

@@bugler75 I can't remember whether I bought that JB kit in Glasgow or in Italy, but I know it was around 2002. I think it might have been in Glasgow. It's a very nice kit, I really enjoyed building and painting it.
