I made these in 1993 at a time when
it was very difficult to get hold of the Fujimi SU-85. I had two
models of these and needed several more for a "Flank Security at Kursk"
game I was going to run at Cangames 1993. I based the casemates entirely
on the Fujimi kit. I actually have more than the two shown, but at
the time of photgraphing, I was in the process of building new shelves
in my wargame room and things were all over the place... |
The
casemates were made entirely of plastic card and dowel and had to be custom
fitted to specific T-34 models. Some of these date back to the 70s
and there are variations in how I built them. |
As
part of the customization, holes had to be cut in the glacis plate to accomadate
the model tank's hull MG. |
