The indomitable Finns return again today with a follow-up to my previous post. This time we have a pair of Landsverk Swedish Anti-Aircraft vehicles in Finnish service. These are the Battlefront models, made from that combination of a resin hull and turret with metal tracks, gun and crew heads. Both were painted in Finnish tri-colour camoflague, using the variant that features sand rather than grey.

My subsequent Finns will be painted in a combination of plain Russian Green for some of the captured vehicles, as well as Finnish tri-colour. Not sure if I’ll use both the sand and grey versions yet. The Landsverks were kept in Finnish service right up intil 1966, though the hakaristi was, rather unsurprisingly replaced with the newer Finnish Roundel post-WWII

I have again gotten the Ps. numbers “wrong” in the case of these Landsverks (though I’m not sure what the correct number is for these), and so I figure there’s about a 50/50 chance I go back and try to fix them with teeny tiny freehand or just leave them be to work on other models instead.

Again, I added some stowage to individualise both vehicles with some plastic spare parts from other kits – jerry cans, spare road wheels, crates – as well as some milliput bags and bedrolls.

With some luck, I’ll get some more Finns painted during June (we’re going through May’s models right now) and this little force can grow a bit!
