Большое спасибо, Tankdriver для превосходных фотоих. Как раз я для моей масштабной модели

Eng.:Thank you very much,tankdriver for excellent photos. Just what i need for my scale model

 

You're building a scale model?! Come and tell us all about it in the hobbies section! I've made model of a Elefant once, and the tank got my attention ever since. it's so massive!

 

Oh it's 1/72 (royal scale ). Got me Italeri (ESCI) kit and when i opened the box i immediatly started..... :angry: .......
If you intend to build one in this scale buy Trumpeter. The drive train of Italeri/ESCI will be a bitch. Tracks don't have teeth and wheels are one peace. Otherwise it is a decent kit with some small amount of interior detail (breech, radio, ammo bins...). I'm thinking of making a destroyed wheicle( something like No.323) with a couple of soviet soldiers inspecting it and a T-70 or SU-76i nearby.

T-26 it is best

 

where from the russian keyboard? :lol: And I have one question: why on the page for reply the name of function key is "Обзор", on russian?

 

- 27 fahrenheit it's great! If not long... My friend, from St. Petersburg, live in Adelaide now.

 

Acctualy written in english and translated with Babel Fish AltaVista translator and then copy-paste. I know for a fact that their translationas from russian to english are sometimes bloody awfull at best (grammar).
I can read and understand Russian (if written with capital letters) but please don't ask of me to write in russian. I realy don't like to butcher someone else's language :smok:

 

I think hes referring to his home, which is the 75% french speaking city of Montreal, Quebec, canada, which like other canadian cities recieves cold temperatures.

 

OK

"Большое спасибо, Tankdriver, за превосходные фото. Как раз для моей масштабной модели." А так, в общем, неплохо.
Характер ошибок больше похож на ошибки автора, чем на ошибки автоматического переводчика. А где Вы научились понимать русский язык?

 

But why "Siberia"? I get into the habit, "Siberia" it's in Russia... Or Canada also is "Siberia"?
