BT-7 and BA-64B

Tamiya BT-7 (1935) borrowed by Italians (whose Semovente is being borrowed by Germans).



Here's the BT-7 with a proper Soviet crew (doing double duty).  Although for early war Soviet tank crew, maybe black (or blue?) coveralls would be more appropriate.  Numbers are dry transfers from Archer Fine Transfers.


Mini-Art (Vision) BA-64B, pre-weathering.  Both kits went together well, although I find the single color scheme not so interesting.

Bronco Hotchkiss H39 aka Pz 375 38H(f), lacking antenna.  This went together fairly well.  Used "german" split commander's hatch, but some of the other distinguishing features such as added antenna mount are lacking.  Also, most H39 in German service seem to have had the trench-crossing tail attached.
