Fortuantely, the painting was no problem. Colour scheme : Russian Dark
Green.
Some muddy wash splashed over the running gear and wheels.

Remember a USSR Tank Corps is only the size of a US Division, and has
far fewer
support elements. But all the horse-drawn stuff was converted from
Heroics
Napoleonics, as Heroics/Ross didn't make WW2 Horse-drawn stuff then. The
rest was
mainly CinC.
