Hi everyone

MEDAL UPDATE

After advice from my friend Pierre regarding the last medal ribbon class sets to his left arm

Pierre writes

Hello Kevin,

The painted bust shows Zhukov's medals and orders correctly, except for the last one, the "Medal for the Capture of Berlin". This medal was established on 9 June 1945, at a time when Zhukov would already have his third star for "Hero of the Soviet Union" and it is unthinkable he would have worn that campaign medal without wearing his three "Hero" stars ( second 29 July 1944, third 1 June 1945) and his second "Order of Victory" .

As such, the medals place the bust by Pavel in a limited timeframe from 10 April 1944 (first "Order of Victory") to beginning of July 1944 (before his second "Hero" star), but without the Berlin medal (easily repainted to a different and earlier campaign medal).

Few people will stumble about this kind of detail, but I know from experience informed Russians certainly will.

Anyway, happy painting,

Pierre

As a result of this information the medal was repainted so its correct with just the single HSU being worn ( small ribbon bed gold star )

This is the replacement campaign medal blow

All now repainted ...will post pics soon

This is what PF is all about ...so a BIG THANK YOU Pierre
