Lend-Lease Vehicles ARMO
Kit #72409
Article by Doug Chaltry; last updated 1 May 2009
This is an older set, but it is still readily available. A more precise name for the set would be "Lend-Lease Vehicles to the Soviet Union" as that is all that is included here, and not vehicles sent to the UK. Typical ARMO quality: very nicely printed, sharp edges, opaque ink, and the few multi-color markings on this sheet are in perfect register. Notice that one of the markings schemes was originally printed incorrectly, and a small correction sheet has also been included.

You really get your money's worth with this set, as you get markings for an amazing 39 different vehicles! Specific markings on this sheet include (Shermans are highlighted in brown):
