Battlefront Miniatures Soviet Armoured Regiment starter

oh I'm so giddy

 Like the British, I have bought a late war Soviet Armoured force. My main goal is to turn the kits into units for the Korean war as well as some Arab wars and earlier cold war scenarios. 

I have built a 76mm gun. 

Battlefront Miniatures British Armoured Division



 So I took the plunge and bought a British Armoured starter set from Battlefront Miniatures. The store I get my Team Yankee kits from had an over abundance of starter sets. The first one i have picked up is to start an Armoured force.

It includes lots which i have wanted and will build up. I will consider making this force late war and also to be used for The Korean War as well.

One of the other ideas I have is to fight the campaign for the Schelt, and over the Rhineland in 1945.

Tanks from this force will also be used as the basis of a Jordanian force as well.
