And the Workers paradise raises more troops

Over the weekend I was able to acquire a set of t72s and Helicopters, some infantry and BMP-1
So my Soviets East Germans Polish and Czechoslovakian armies shall all increase.
My plan is to have each country to field a section of 4 t-72s.
The infantry sections are getting painted and trained up, and with transports!
BMP 1 being built up.  
So this coming winter will be spent decals for the vehicles

Czechslovakian RM-70 MLRS

So, my Czechslovakian force now has some serious firepower! The RM-70 MRLS.
The kit has 3 launchers. So, initally, with the skill level of 5, this might make them a force difficult to fight with, however, with the Firepower, they might still be difficult.

The Gaskin and The Spadrel in the Volks Army and Warsaw Pact

Recently, I was able to upgrade my East German, Polish and Czechslovakian forces with the Anti-aircraft units of Gaskins and Anti-tank platoons of Spadrels.

Both systems use the BRDM platform with the weapons systems mounted on top of the vehicles.
Pictures to follow
so far I have built the Gaskins. Just need to give them a spray with the new paint can I got.
Poland and Czechoslovakia will both get a Squadron of Gaskins
The East Germans will have to wait for their equipment from the Soviets.
As if 10/10, 2019 my son and I have built 3 of the Spadrels and a BTR 60. All these kits have been built, and mostly painted, just need to find time to put up some pictures

Further updates to my around Iraq Conflict for Team Yankee include actually painting up the basajis  infantry, which I was able to pick up last fall. And there is also a 106 mm armed Jeep. For this small unit. The regular earring in armies will be made up of G3 arms infantry which are already painted more pictures to follow
