Republican Armour

T-26 Tanks for the Republic

Pegasus 2-in-a-box quick builds brought out here to Spain on Tuesday by Alex.

Quick to build (a little flash but nothing awful), a basic paint scheme and all done.

The one tank has a commander who`s body was an Italeri gunner now with a Britannia British tanker head.

  1. Nice work Richard. THey should easily outgun the Pz1s and CV33s.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    1. Yes, they proved quite a shock to the Italians when first used en-mass

  2. Quick work. More good use of your 'head swop' art/skill.
    Well done. I recall Nationalists using captured T26s as the war progressed. Carl

    1. Thanks Carl, yes the Rebels (Nationalists) actually had a bounty out for capturing T-26s and Bt-5s.

      I really had trouble finding Republican decals, all the sets for sale on Ebay, etc seemed to be for Rebel captures??

  3. nice work here! I've gotten Republican decals from minairons. I really like their stuff, though shipping gets expensive for me. Shouldn't be too bad within Spain I imagine?

    1. Thanks, I did find Minairons expensive back in the UK, I haven`t tried to order off him since I`ve lived out here. The decals I used on these are a mixture of odds`n sods I had to hand.
