Dear MM,
Nice builds. Is that a BREN gun with the 100 rd drum on the Valentine? Like the
"chain dogs". At a reenactment in Iowa, some of the Feldgendarmerie guys used their traffic wands to do their version of "On the good ship, Lollypop", a memorable sight.

Dear TH-M2,
Thanks for your kind comments. I think that's the Bren gun with 100rd drum. I don't know the "chain dogs", what are they?

Mark, thanks too for your kind comments. My main modeler is very good at weathering.

Dear MM,
"Chain dogs" is a Wehrmacht slang term for Feldgenarmerie.

Dear TH-M2,

Why is the Wehrmacht slang term in English, not in German language?

Dear MM,
I simply used the English translation, I am sure some of our German colleagues can give you the correct German words. Sorry for any confusion.

Nice work. However at least in the photo the color choice for BT-42 seems bit odd.

TH-M2, I see. No problem.

waldzee, thanks for your kind compliments.

JTV, Thanks. The BT-42 color is one of many suggested patterns.
