Turkey in WWII
Available in 1:35 and 1:72 scales
Item No. 35-C 1373
Although Turkey did not fight during WWII, it did have armoured vehicles. Star Decals’ sets has markings for several Russian T-26B tanks and BA-6 armoured cars in two popular scales.
For the T-26B there are four (or five depending on how you read things). Four are in green/brown/sand schemes with an “alternative” for a plain sand tank. Markings include simple tactical signs in three colour plus numbers and a series of coloured bands and dots or red-yellow-red stripes around the turrets.
Two BA-6 in similar colours and markings complete the set.
Vehicle registration numbers are included where known.
Something out of the ordinary for those looking for that.
UK prices are £6.99 for 35-C1374 and £6.50 for 72-A1128 at www.hannants.co.uk or they can be bought direct from www.star-decals.net
