  • The tank is a tiger 1 I see. Fun detail for the sharp observer is that the secondary turret is missing it's machinegun barrel so the image used as reference by the artist may have been a deactivated tiger 1.

    This is my favorite way Tom draws Natani, Feminine but still looking strong and tough.

    Given the character history, I'd feel remiss not to plug a book about the female Soviet soldiers in WWII. One of the great paradoxes of the Stalinist years was that, with the question of "What is the New Soviet Woman?" still up in the air since the revolution, women were a lot more aggressive in demanding equal shares of the social order, and didn't give a damn what "traditional" gender norms had to say.

    Or as Chapter 1 puts it:
    Q: Gender Ambiguities on the Eve of the War: Can Mothers by Civic Duty Be Women Soldiers by Birth?
    A: "I am a woman machine gunner, Comrade Lieutenant!"

    Yay Panzer VI tiger. The hull's form make me think of maybe a tiger porche.
    I love ti.

    No, its a Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung E "Tiger" missing its hull Maschinengewehr 34.
    Porsches Prototype had angled "cheeks" on the hull and a two part lower Front plate

    From what I can see, it is one of the early models that used the panther-like henshel turret instead of the later u-shaped Porsche turret
