Captured Armour

Re: Soviet Panthers

Now there's an interesting conversion for a diorama!

 

Re: Soviet Panthers

Are we all looking at that photo for the next Group Build...

 

This topic is quite convenient if the group build goes this way.

 

German KV-1...
Not my pic... found it...
forget where :-?

 

germans used all kind of captured equipment from every country.
trucks, tanks, armoured cars, half tracks, so you name it, they used them!!!

 

Is that a dummy gun in the captured KV?

 

Looks like the L11 seen on the KV1 and KV1A.

 

Yeah but it also looks as if the barrel has been plugged with something.

 

yep,german used soviet armor,here is PIC of destroyed german T-34.

 

Some nice ones (from http://www.wargamer.com/Hosted/Panzer/captured.html);

 

and so did the italians



and a crusader on the move to egypt =)

That top one looks knocked out, not pressed into Italian service. Its left track is missing.

Simon: fair point, however I don't know of any artillery spotter or ARV versions of the KV-1, so that would be very strange.

 

Looks like barrel cover to me. Keeps dirt,water and all other unwanted stuff outside of cleaned barrel

 

Ohr, come on Roel you can imagine that it´s just damaged and that the italians repaired it.

Regards,
Che.

 

post subject

Knowing the 'Ities' I don't suppose they've noticed , too busy posing!!

 

Sure, I can imagine. However when I saw this picture I thought (from what it shows) that they knocked it out and now pose with their prize, rather than that they posed to have their picture taken and then proceeded to patch up the vehicle for their own purposes. A picture does not always tell a whole story...

 

I find some intheresting things about this ishue here:

Re: More Germans armour

I think it is a Ausf G late model, just check the intermediate style driving sprocket and the early returner wheel.
