Just a quick side project I did over the weekend, since I've had these 4 Zvezda T-26 models sitting on my work table now for 4 months. These are some earlier Finnish T-26 tanks, since they retain the dark Russian green paint and lack the "Ps-" serial numbers on their glacis plates. These are basically stock 1:100 Zvezda T-26Cs with minor modifications. The command tank has a hatch and command figure from the PSC T-34 kit, while the remainder include a mix of PSC T-34 & PzIII fuel cans, stowage boxes made from plasticard, and a plasticard axe and shovel.

Excellent! I was just looking at these exact models myself.

I've got 5 BF T-26s right now for my Finns. Any idea on how they scale together?

The only other Finn stuff I have from BF are infantry and it scales well with those. From looking at pics in Eastern Front, I can tell that the Zvezda T-26 seems taller than the BF mini.

Nice tanks,that is what i am working with my brother on but he is playing a Soviet tank company with riders.Except we are planing on using BF bits for ours.Considering we are not even in your league when it comes to sculpting.Also how hard would it be to convert the Opel trucks over to flatbeds so we may make Dishka AA out of them.We would be using the Zveda truck with the BF AA gun.

No worries, the bed and tarp on the Zvezda Opels are two separate pieces. So, when assembling, just leave off the tarp cover piece. No conversion necessary. The Zvezda GAZ trucks are already flatbeds too.
