Battub ready, time for details.

The scenario, T-55 accidentally in West-Germany near Berlin.
Berlin Police is at the scene. They wear the 1947 uniform with black tschako.
Grandad tells his story, while grandmum amuses herself with the Russians.

Fantastic work so far, Tini, great sculping of the tschakos, easier way would be to take them from Miniart 😉
Following with Interest 👍
