NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 12 APRIL 2010

After a few weeks away from adding to our original WW2 section, our dear old scanner has been busy once again. We’ve added some more to Volume 5 of the Eastern Front Collection and below are 5 samples to tempt you to visit that area of the website.

Our first photo shows a very smart German officer standing by an Opel Staff Car. Some of these were made especially for the military, but more often than not they were civilian vehicles that had been pressed into service. Our next photo shows an abandoned Soviet KV-2 Heavy Tank by the side of the road. A useful photo for any model maker with an interest in Soviet equipment.

If anyone thought a sheepskin jacket was a recent invention, then this photo of two German soldiers proves them wrong !!! Looks a most efficient method of keeping out the cold. Another photo of a knocked out Soviet KV-2 Heavy Tank follows next, which gives another angle of this huge beast. Last example this week is one for our aircraft enthusiasts in the shape of a Messerschmidt Me-110, with some unusual nose-art.

So my friends it’s back to the scanner and see what we can find for next week !

Cheerio !
