Too many green leaves.

Yes, that is the Female Class B uniform of that time. It was worn over the trousers or skirt waist

I was wondering when that would start. I have a feeling that all the Soviet WWII memorials in unoccupied Ukraine will be torn down in the near future.

Wiki says WACs were disbanded in 1978. Yes the throwback uniforms take a bit from the old days but only partially. Women wearing mens visor cap and trousers are certainly not old school.

Oh yes, the WACs as an organization are long gone. But the skirted version of the new Service Greens are definitely a retro look to the formative WAC era, headgear notwithstanding.

Father says your motherā€™s right
Sheā€™s really up on things
Before we married Mommy served
In the WACs in the Philippines

Now I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But Mommy isnā€™t one of those
Iā€™ve known her all these years

T-34 and Leopard 1A4 fighting side-by side? Some interesting perspectives for modeling.

The Russians seem to have a penchant for very large vehicles. Does the US have anything that is remotely comparable in size to any of their stuff?

Thatā€™s OK, the T-72/T-90 doesnā€™t have any durability when hit!

as bad as I thought my Drill Sargents were, I I thought they were lackluster when I saw female Drill Sargents in action!! Even when they called you every name they could think of, it was mild to what they were yelling at those women
