I was a little streesed with the buils when I couldn't do my first plan , in the end I liked a lot the final result , the Tamiya kit I recommend it , for me it is a wonderfull kit to be done OOB , even if you do not add after market goodies it will be one great piece , I only have twp brass ammo in mine ,all the rest is in the box ! a 20/20 kit for me ! Even the figures ar very nice with a lot of action on them ! We can see the gunsman inside the NAshorn ready to punch a hole in some T-34 or JS-2 tank somewhere in EAst Prussia final defense pockeys , very, very nice !

Alpine figures, to me one f the great brands in 1/35 figures , the result with a little patience and painting come superb !
The snow and Ice form Precision Modelling Ice and Snow ...well you must try them , at first I was a little affraid to use them , in the end the resukt is just great ! Simple to use with great realism ( and I wasn't too ambitious...
) A word to FLying Dutchman (Frans) , he made a build on the last year 'From Russia with Love' also using the some Ice and Snow products , I read a lot of times his thread Build , and was of great help for me !
