A new global political divide was formed between the Communist East and Democratic West.The West formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) in 1949, and in response the Warsaw Pact was formed by the Soviet Union and its allies, including East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Poland in 1955. The Soviet Union’s and Warsaw Pact's most powerful forces are poised on the border with West Germany ready to strike at a moment’s notice. Soon the western workers will be free and the dawn of a new socialist age will begin!

Assembling the 2S1 Carnation 122mm SP Howitzer

Tip: When referring to the left or right-hand side in regards to a Team Yankee miniature, the orientation is determined as if looking at the vehicle from the rear.

Step 1. Begin assembly by adding the tracks. there are L/R indicators on the back of each track to ensure they are put on the correct way.		Below: Left and Right tracks attached.

Step 2. Next glue the 122mm gun to the turret. There are small male/female circle notches to help position it correctly.		Step 3. To finish the assembly, add the turret to the Carnation body.

Adding Rare Earth Magnets Alternatively, you may choose to glue rare earth magnets into the recess in the hull and to the bottom of the turret. Magnets are a quick and secure way of fixing your turrets to the hulls, rather than just relying on gravity. Rare Earth Magnets (XX105) are available through the online store here...
