Global Scale Modeller

In the spring of 1941. the Wehrmacht was debating whether to invade British-held Crete or Malta as part of their Mediterranean campaign. In the wake of the summer invasion of the Soviet Union, several KV-2 tanks were captured intact, and seemed ideally suited to serve as bunker busters for operations on Malta. Several KV-2s along with some captured T-34s were formed into a special company of (z.b.v.) 66 for the Malta operation. In the event, the high costs of Operation Merkur against Crete led to the Germans abandoning plans to invade Malta. The KV-2s were later committed to the fighting near Demyansk in August 1942.

Really great work, you have quite a collection of armour there, well done.

Thank you Pete!

I've got a few more to post

Lovely take on the captured version.

Thank you very much! This was the first build I used a PE set, figures and a base. Pretty pleased myself!
