Some Of My Unusual AFVs

Its easy to find ready made Panthers, Shermans, Tigers and T-34s---which I have plenty of. But I am particularly interested in less usual pieces, regardless of the form they take---plastic, metal, ground stone, etc.. Here are a few examples from my collection. The first picture shows some of the small fry---1:60th or smaller scale. The next two pictures feature larger models.

oj, I know some of those are repainted Atalyas
but they do look good.
I like the M13/40 which would look good next to my DOC L3/33 and L3/35
and the BT-5/7,
The Stuarts I can't tell if they are IXO or Mirage kits
The R35 and S35 are super also.

I like them, especially the French and Soviet pieces you don't see very often.

Epap, which did you respray?
I've seen some of your planes on other forums, I like the mustard-flake Kate you did.
I figure the M13 is respray as the IXOs I have seen are horrid, and the Russians, since they look more to true Russian Tank Green, either Vallejo or Testor's MM IMO.
The S35 I think is resprayed, if that is out of box, I would be surprised with the IXO lines S35s I've seen on eBay.

All of the Soviet tanks and self-propelled guns were redone in a lighter green rather than the very dark green used by the manufacturer. As I mentioned, I left the Altaya Somua in the first picture as is. Both of the desert Stuarts are repaints, of course. Original kit-makes like the Somua and Carro Armato in the last pictures and the Crusader in the first picture are, of course, one-shot deals with their first schemes as shown.
