I have this on one of the stands I built for BRS in 1/72 but don’t plan to do a whole squadron of them.   There’s a little more about it on my blog: https://paintingdistractions.wordpress.com/2020/04/15/ground-support/

My guess it was simply a case of ‘don’t gove the new guys thye big guns, give it to someone who can shoot straight’

I added a post on my first schwarm of 109s with some pictures.  I won’t try to post a link here as that didn’t seem to work last time.   But there are some thoughts on kits for Battle of Britain planes in 1/72 and pics (not great pics) of the 109s.

I put up a post on my blog about my first schwarm of 109s in 1/72 including some (poor) pics.  There are some thoughts about kits also.

Hope this posts.

Hi,

I thought I’d share somes photos with you.

Starting with Mustangs, quite a lot of them. I love the way it is possible to vary colours on Mustangs while retaining uniformity :

Let me know what you think !

Hi there,

New on the forum but a big fan of BRS, I thought I’d share some pictures of my little planes.

Starting with Mustangs. I love the way it is possible to change the colour scheme of Mustangs while keeping some uniformity :

Scribd (https://www.scribd.com/document/403690614/Bolt-Action-Solo-Play-Cards) has a copy of the ones that Warlord made, just looking for the official Warlord link

I edited my reply but now I cant see it.

I primed two armies.

But I have no idea what colors to paint them. Well I do. The US is green uniform with khaki trim but I want exact colors. And the germans are like blue grey and something else grey. Well at least one specific luftwaffe division i found was. But it looks like most germans are green…[Read more]

Well. Without any real knowledge of the game I ordered the following:

Sturmtiger

Waffen-SS support group

Get Started with Bolt Action : Waffen-SS

This seemed a legit start to get things going.
Where can I find those hitler youths for example?
And which lists would you recommend me using?

The Hf2 field wagon had a carrying capacity of 1.72 tonnes and so can easily carry a mortar and/or a machine gun team and ammo.   Historically the MG team had 2 IF2 carts drawn by one light draught horse and a mortar team would have 4 carts drawn by 2 light draught horses (2 carts in tandem to each h…[Read more]

This nicely detailed article on Finnish StuGs has several notes on armament modifications but none mention a “hull mounted” MG.  The only references deal with the substitution of the roof mounted MG34 with other weapons. You maybe found it already?

A bit late to the conversation… but Warlord did post and article for American and Spanish ships and additional captains:

My earlier post seems to have disappeared.  This web page has a lot of detailed information on the Sturmi StuG covering types, armour, armament, vehicle numbers etc.

There is one here.

I think the model looks nicer if it is holding the bible, so other models will require some customisation.

I assume Nat is refering to this British Major, but he is holding a Thompson SMG, so…[Read more]
