CanDid Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hi folks, A few pics of my T-34/76 Sotka Ps.231-3 commanded by 2/Lt Teppo during the battle of Tali-Ihantala on the Karelian Isthmus in the summer of 1944. The Finnish Tank Company used various (captured) Russian tanks such as T-28, T-50, Klim Voroshilov and the famous T-34/76. The Finnish Soldiers called it 'Sotka' ('Duck'). It is the Dragon T-34/76 Mod. 41, Cast turret kit with some scratch built parts. Painted with Gunze and weathered with Ammo. Note: The Finnish swastika, Hakaristi, was officially taken into use after an order by Mannerheim on 18 March 1918. The Hakaristi had nothing to do with Nazi-Germany. It was used until 1945 when it had to be changed due to an Allied Control Commission decree, where the swastika had to be abandoned due to the symbol's association with Nazism. Thanks for looking //Fred 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanDid Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi Sgt. For the Finnish three tone I used Gunze colours as follows: H309 for the green (FS34079) H37 for the brown (FS30097) H324+H336 (50/50 mix) for the grey (FS 36306) For the weathering I used various Ammo sand coloured paints, pigments and filters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
