Rapid Fire! Poland 1939 in 20mm - Long awaited reinforcements for an endangered front

 


This post complements the last video were these latest Polish reinforcements can be seen. The Polish army of 1939 is a big temptation thanks to FirtToFight (FtF) models who is always teasing you with very beautiful and unexpected models. 


The second battalion is done. Figures are the usual Hat. 


The bicycle platoon uses slightly converted Hat figures with Hat German bycicles. 


The 40mm AA Bofors is Airfix with FtF crew. 


A Tatra T-18 from MiniGeneral 3D is a now a close company to my made up Smialy armored train. 


These are the FtF cavalry limbers for the 37mm Bofors AT guns. 



These are the FtF Biedkas to carry the WZ30 machine guns. Whatever FTF produces they are always great kits filled with details (and sometimes some irritating small parts many of them photo-etched). 


The FtF 155mm 1917 gun was coupled with Hat figures and also with a scratch-built Bolinder -Munktell AK tractor 1939. Most of these guns were horse towed but some of them had these experimental tractors pulling them. At least you get something not as ecological but different for sure. 

Next: re-starting the Bir-Hakeim project.

  1. Very impressive! I need to start adding cavalry to my forces too. So far I got infantry and armoured vehicles mostly FtF and Hat. I will adapt the idea using German bikes.
