Ok from what I can remember, the original Katyushas had to be built by gluing all the individual components together, where as I am 99% sure that the rack came as a complete component. With the rockets and the truck carriage making it a 5 piece set instead of the original 20!!!

Here are the pictures of the newer one, it also has an attached stand and crew. The old ones where seperate.

Hope that helps

Thanks FBI, up next are the last three T34/85's

All 20 of them

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh and two more pictures

**legoburner**

That's a lot of T34s! On the AA guns, why did you not put on the skirting/walls of the rear of the trucks? It doesnt look bad but I am curious as to why? What is next in the painting queue?

**General_Crippler**

Two reasons really, one was they are a nightmare to glue and two, they broke off to easily.

10 T26's are up next.

**General_Crippler**

Nearly completed four of the T26's, just need to weather them and need to add some transfers to a destroyed PzIII objective marker.

**General_Crippler**

Here are the T26's

Looking good as always. Also I forgot to comment on the complete army shots - wow! Makes me feel inadequate! Need more infantry though to balance it out as a great photo

**General_Crippler**

Soviet light armour packed away safely

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Cheers lego, yeah I know, but the infantry takes so much longer and I can knock tanks out a lot quicker ;-)

Will be getting more infantry done in the future

**legoburner**

Nice packing shot there, but argh bending gun barrel risk!

Dont know if you've been following all the crap going on, but Maelstrom are having a 25% off Flames of War sale at the moment - might be able to pick up some bargains.

**General_Crippler**

To be honest, I place them in there quite slowly and not had any issues yet. Yeah I was reading about that today.

**General_Crippler**

Here are six completed KV-1's

The KV-3 where actually KV-5's and I have now nearly completed two of these ;-)

**legoburner**

Looking good as always. Cant be much left until you have painted the entire eastern front Russian forces 1:1

**General_Crippler**

lol, getting that way, but then the soviets where a swarm army!!!

**legoburner**

Is the stug with the broken shurzen from the open fire box set? AA guns look nice too, good job on the infantry camo.

**General_Crippler**

Yes it is, I dropped it at some point, so just modelled it as battle damamge and thanks ;-)

**iheartlargeblasttemplates**

Your stuff looks great! How long does it take to paint this compared to 40k?

**General_Crippler**

I would say about the same time, maybe a little less due to the smaller scale.

Depends on the standard you want.

This is AWESOME, the Russian army is great, just wish to see it in a battle

**iheartlargeblasttemplates**

Do you get your models from FoW? or from forged in battle? Because if you got them from FoW then this is a lot of money!
