The two T-64 tanks from the starter box. As all other tanks in this post, they were painted in a simple scheme. Primed with AK Interactive Russian primer, followed by a basecoat of Revell Aquacolor Bronzegrün. The final step was drybrushing the tanks with Revell Aquacolor Olivgrau.
The machineguns got painted black, then I used a pencil to add a layer of graphite for a decent metallic look.
The T-72 tank on which I took a closer look in this post. Painted as mentioned above. His decals and all other decals I used on the four tanks from this post came from the "Gvozdika" kit, which I show in this post.
Before I applied the decals, I added a layer of clear gloss varnish on the spot where I wanted to have the decals, normally I do this with the brush. Then I applied "Mr Mark Setter" from Mr Hobby before I set the decals.
After the decals were dried I gave some "Mr Mark Softer", also by Mr Hobby, over the decal. In the past I had some issues with this stuff, once it dissolved some decals while I applied them what caused a mess. But it improves the final look of the decal.
Finally all kits were sealed with Revell Aquacolor matte varnish, mixed 1:1 with water. I also have some thinner laying arround, but I prefer to use water, it had never disappoined me before.
The last Soviet Tank is a custom unit, find all infos in this post, it is the 122mm self-propelled 2S1 howitzer. As I mentioned in the closer look at it, I changed the headlight for an AA machine gun from the leftover bits of the T-64 kit.
Next week we will play a first game, maybe I have the Cobra and the Hind finished until them, but there is still one questions from the rules, which seems unclear:
If I attack with missiles, does the target tank throw his defence dice or will he not ?
As I understand the rules, he will not. If the target tank would throw his dice dice, I would see no practical use for rockets, since they have a movement penalty.
If the attacker moves twice before he shoots his missiles, they will hit on 6 only and can not cause any critical hit. If the target has defence dice in this situation, this will make a hit very hard to get, you will need more than the usual luck.
I am gonna ask in their official Facebook group, maybe I will get a proper answer from there.
Update:
We got an response from their official Facebook group. They state:

"the target would get normal defense rolls. the missiles
rules don't say anything about ignoring defense dice."
Hm, seems I was wrong with my interpretation of missiles rules.
