Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
As for the middle pic.....a chassis with wheels is all that comes to mind!!!!! Havent a clue what its ment to have ontop or its use.
Base for a caisson of some type??
The figures are excellent sculpts again. Alas not any good to me but can still admire the quality.
Second one looks like the small carriage for a 37mm AA gun the Germans used in WWII, Sd. Ha 51 or 52 trailer. There are several that are similar.

I have no idea on the troops, but will guess Russian.
One can be a field kitchen, I presume. Tachanka? Unfortunatly no! Tachankas have 2 wheel-axis, but these have only one. The teaser needs to be continued....
The soldiers? Probably russian soldiers of WW2, civilians or militias? The balalaika is very russian.
It might well be the case that the vehicle in that image is not a Tachanka at all but rather a Russian MG transport cart, given this is material captured in 1914 (and the caption calling this a "turret" is clearly wrong). Regards, Pa
Pa, your foto shows really some similarities with the parts, but I hope, that it isn´t this kind of a Tachanka.
I have studied in the internet many photos of Tachankas, which were really different, but never before like this german captured Tachanka in your foto.
The first thing that pops to mind when looking at the pictures is field kitchen, Russian, WWI... although the cap on the fellow on the right looks like something prior WWI. Actually those two could fit into any scenario from Napoleonic till WW2.
I also don't think it's a tachenka, but I do hope you make one! i love the sculps and those figures look like they're having a great time. Can't wait to see the finished product.
