Obviously, the Battlefront model is considerably more expensive, but in this particular case, it wins for me hands down. Anyhow, I painted these guys as I always do my soviets: Cam. Olive Green (Vallejo 70894) with a drybrush of Green Grey (886). I black line with my pitt artist pen, and weather with some cheap acrylic browns.
I think these are a great buy in mid war with the changes to wheeled mobility and recon in general. Looking forward to seeing them on the table!
I also completed a looted KV-1e for Team Chris at cold Wars. May Irina serve them well!
