Germans OTL had a similar thing too with a Hipper hull (never completed, of course). Japan had the Ibuki (also never completed). I think there might have been a French cruiser where a similar idea/plan was raised, but not put in use with the ship eventually completing as an AA cruiser.

Interesting, the Russian looks somewhat Soviet-esque, and the German appears to be wielding an MP-18(?). Very nice!Better pictures of my Russian and German infantry.
The Russian's helmet and gas mask combo are Soviet, but I think in-universe that makes sense for the SGW Russians, particularly as they are concerned about chemical weapons. I did give the German an MP-18 to show that old FGW equipment is still being used by them.
the MP-18 might more likely have been superceded by its improved variant, the mp-28
T-7 Azov Republic of Ukraine
The Ukraine broke away from the Russian empire after the end of the Second Great War, at first the ROU purchased weapons from both Russia and Germany but by the early 1960's began to develop their own weapon systems often having features, armaments and technical equipment of their former suppliers.

Good point. I think at that scale, it could also visually represent the MP-28.
Junkers D.IX
The Junkers D.IX entered service in 1927 and would serve as a frontline fighter for the Imperial Luftwaffe until 1935. Designed by Friedrich Harth and his assistant and protégé William Messerschmitt.
At the time of it's introduction the D.IX was one of the fastest and most maneuverable fighter planes in the world, armed with two MG's in each wing the D.IX would influence fighter aircraft design for the next decade.

You know, seeing an Imperial German Junkers with the name Messerschmidt attached to it makes me wonder what ‘Fat Herman’ got up to in Timeline-191; I’d bet his war service and connections keep him reasonably comfortable (and his greedy nature keeps him climbing) even absent a Fuhrer to place a fox in charge of the chicken coop…
The M1926 brings up an interesting issue. Since IRL the Bren gun was more or less a British Improved copy, what is the British Army using for a light machine gun? No, the Lewis gun is not an option, that thing was designed by an American who got rebuffed by the tight-fisted US Ordnance Board IRL.
I imagine he'd stay in the Luftwaffe probably not get so fat or become a morphine junkie, other than that it's hard to say what kind of person he'd turn out to be.
Maybe an efficient officer or maybe an asshole once again.
I'd say the Vickers-Berthier LMG, which was used by the British Indian Army in OTL and was a French design.
and I just remembered that the British were also using the BESA machine-gun for their vehicle mounted MG, which the BESA was a copy of the Czech ZB-53.
