Here are a few images I discovered today while looking for information on the L6 WOMBAT.  I found a couple of images of the Finnish "Musti" 95mm Recoiless Rifle depicted in a variety of winter scenes:

Be aware that several of these images are very large and slow to load for anyone on a dial-up connection.

Like that Recoiless Rifle on the sled Jeff, just the kind of mods that would look good in a diorama.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

That and other things like the attached image of an ahkio which I would really like to see in 1/35th scale.  Some snowshoes and skis would also be nice as separate purchase items instead of having to purchase an entire model vehicle or figure kit for the things. 

Now if someone would only make a snowmobile that is not die-cast metal . . .

Shamelessley robbed these aggressors from Taidantomcats post on the One Stop Soviet Shop:







These two are UN aircraft, but it could easily be an all over white distemper:

Alternate Luftwaffe has crept up a bit & is currently equal on 17, SCW is on 15 & Navalise it on 14.  The Quimby vote has slowed recentley, which has allowed others to catch up so we're not guaranteed yet....

Robert posted this Predator in his profiles section, it fits in under the Hi-Viz rule!

Hi Simon,
Thanks a lot for the nordic profiles. Really useful for my project :thumbsup: :wacko:
