NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 8 FEBRUARY 2010

Hi everyone and welcome to what was new new week on Miliblog, as we catch up

Very busy at work this week and so we only managed to add 30 more photos to the Eastern Front Collection, of which 5 samples are shown below. But not to worry my fellow military enthusiasts, as we’ve also been working on lots of new photos to appear on Miliblog over the next few weeks. Our website designer is also working hard on new things for the website and we hope to have a new section for you all very soon. We have received many emails from people either seraching for a particular vehicle or spare part for sale asking for help. Others have emailed us to see if we know of anyone wanting a part they have for sale, for example, an engine for a Stuart tank. So our new clasifieds section will be of use to all of you in the search for that elusive part for your vehicle restoration.

So a short description of our 5 samples and then back to work ! First we have a knocked out Soviet KV-1 Heavy Tank followed by a nice German Stoewer 40 4×4 Field Car. We have a photo of a preserved similar Stoewer 40 on Miliblog but it’s the 40 Kfz 2.40 Radio Car and can be found under Gallery of Photo Collection, Military Vehicles, Germany, Preserved German WW2. Next photo shows a nice column of German vehicles and the Zundapp 750 motorcycle and sidecar combination at the front shows an unusual cover over the sidecar seating area, which would make a simple conversion for any model makers just starting.  Now we have a couple of photos for our aircraft enthusiasts, starting with a 2 seat trainer Polikarpov I-16. Just look how small it is ! Next, is a shot down Illyushin IL-2 Sturmovik ground attack aircraft. 

So whatever your interest, whether it be military vehicles, modelling, re-enactment, wargaming or just history in general, I hope you find something on Miliblog that makes you want to come back and have another look !

Cheerio !
