Welp, that’s what roughly 360 track end connectors looks like prepped for painting, for a Tamiya M4A3 Sherman project.

This is where I'm at with the Tamiya T34/76. Things hit an abrupt halt when she threw a track when an idler made a bid to escape. The stowage pinged off in all directions in sympathy. All is well now and hostilities will resume on the morrow. #histscalemodels

Tactical-technical requirements for a close support SPG on the T-26 chassis were completed #OTD in 1941. Obsolete twin-turreted T-26 tanks were converted into vehicles that still had value on the battlefield. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Creeping towards the finish line on this one. One track done, hard to get decent looking sag with plastic tracks but it'll do when they're painted and weathered and the idler wheels are on.

Close to bringing all these parts together and put a flat clear varnish over them all earlier…there are no dashboard dial decals supplied 🙄…so I wondered about using some Archers ones I have but I think I’ll just ‘rust out’ the dials as it’s a very old vehicle in the vignette I have plotted 🤔

Due to link and length tracks I now have to paint the lower part of the Tamiya Valentine before I can progress. So far a zero swear word build. Magic. 👍 #histscalemodels

Time for a #ScaleHistModels update … on my 1/72 Dambusters Lanc … sooo annoyed that I’ve screwed the painting of the canopy up so I will need to redo + various recoverable paint issues but I’m on my way … now worried I won’t be able to get the masks off the fuselage windows as well. Ho hum!

Orders to develop a successor to the T-18 tank were given #OTD in 1928. The T-19 was supposed to be a faster version of its predecessor, but constantly expanding requirements turned it into a completely different tank that just shared some components with the T-18. #tanks #history

Factory trials of the IS-1 (#233) tank ended #OTD in 1943. Some small issues cropped up, which were corrected before the tank was sent to government trials. Nevertheless, it was rejected since requirements for a new heavy tank changed in the meantime. #tanks #History #WW2 #WWII

The appearance of the Tiger Tank in North Africa failed to tip the scales in the Germans' favour. #OTD in 1943 s.Pz.Abt.501 handed over their remaining materiel to the newly arrived s.Pz.Abt.504, having no functional Tigers remaining. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

The Heavy Tank M6 turned out to be unsuitable for combat, but that didn't stop the Americans from modernizing it. In addition to a new turret with a 105 mm gun, a transplant of a Pershing turret was attempted. This work was cancelled #OTD in 1944. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Czechoslovakia was a major player on the arms export market. One of its greatest successes was ČKD's AH-IV tankette. 35 AH-IV-R tankettes were built for Romania and #OTD in 1939 a deal was made to build licensed copies at a factory in Reșița. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1940 the Ordnance Corps authorized the installation of a GM V-4-223 diesel into a Light Tank M2A3. The resulting vehicle was called M2A3E3. This was an interesting experiment, but diesel engines only found a place in American medium tanks. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

#OTD in 1932 the tank division of the Bolshevik factory was extracted into a separate organization. The newly formed factory #174 would go on to make over 10,000 tanks over the course of the following decade, chiefly based on the T-26 chassis. #tanks #history
