Title: Thematic armour for Berlin 1945
Post by: martin goddard on May 04, 2025, 03:58:41 PM
I was considering what models convey the fall of Berlin. Not necessarily what was most common, but what I think of.

1. Tiger II
2.  JS 2
3. 88mm
4 Panther turrets
5. Russian tracked howitzer

Your mental images?

Yes, those bedsteads.
Plus the badly painted white recognition lines. Wargamers can paint those by hand.

I think I have 2 Zvezda JS2's still unmade in their boxes. I'll have a root around in the loft later. They'd put the cat amongst the pidgeons!!  ;D
