Indiana War Museum - Architectural Models

Indiana War Memorial. Among the artifacts on display are some architectural models.

The Soldiers and Sailors Monument. Located in the center of the city, it's a lovely focal point. Lady Victory is facing due south to keep eternal vigilance over the old Confederacy. The surrounding buildings around the monument are, by ordinance, shorter than the monument so as not to diminish its glory.

Easy Model KV-1

From Wikipedia: The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were a series of Soviet heavy tanks named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov and used by the Red Army during World War II. The KV series were known for their extremely heavy armour protection during the early part of the war, especially during the first year of the German invasion of the Soviet Union.

Easy Model, a couple of years ago, released a series of KV tanks. Not a bad model for the price, and an easy way to augment my Soviet forces.
