The Eastern Express KV-1 Heavy Tank mod. 1942 early version #35120, has a '13' in it, #413 to be exact, not too sure about the quality of the kit though....

True....
Been looking around for those cheap kits from the east, just for the fun of it, like Eastern Express 1/35 ASU-35, originally released by AER Moldova, didn't sound like much, but thinking that maybe try the Eastern Express release, one would be slightly better off!

Douglas C-47A-20-DL 42-23513 (MSN 9375), MIA 9th of July '43 in Sicily....
The Allied invasion of Sicily, Italy, codenamed Operation Husky, began on the night of 9–10 July 1943, when 2,200 paratroopers were dropped into Gela. Amphibious landings started in the morning with German aircraft attacking the invasion fleet. A second drop started on the night of July 11 with USAAF C-47s and C-53s departing from runways around Kairouan, Tunisia. They flew in V formations of nine planes each at low altitude and lights out.
The first two formations of transport planes followed their prescribed course and discharged their paratroopers squarely on target. When the next formations appeared over the shoreline, fire was opened from the ground by Allied forces on naval vessels and shore troops. The 52nd Troop Carrier Wing lost 23 of 144 USAAF C-47s to friendly fire; 83 airmen were killed. The 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment suffered 81 dead.
Douglas C-47 42-23513 was one of the transport aircraft lost.

I haven't been assembling a tank for long time. I may give a try to one of the Eastern Express kits.
