I'm from St.Petersburg, Russia. In scale modelling last 12 years... My main modelling subjects wary some times for that time. Now my main interest is in Soviet and NATO Cold War erah armor in 35-th scale, as well as some "classiques" of WWII -- T-34 family, Shermans, and Nazi's "beasts". But time to time I make some aircrafts in 72-nd scale -- just for fun and to relax after finishing the next "heavy metal chunk" project.
Best regards to community.

Lis,
Welcome aboard!
See my post over in the Armor forum. You might be able to clarify my question on T-34 grab handles.

Hi Lis ! Great to have you with us. We have a rich assortment of active, pensioned, retired and reserve NATO soldiers and officers in our ranks, but your experience with Russian material and ways of life in the army may be interesting to many of us. Is it OK to ask your opinion when we get stuck ?
