'Es ist kaputt'Dragon 1/35th JS/IS-2

This was never meant to be a wreck diorama, but the dog of a girl i was seeing got hold of the turret and started munching on it. with the exception of the shell hole at the front, which i did myself, all other damage is done by the doggo. [...]

TAKOM 1/35 MERKAVA Mk.2D

I have assembled Takom's Merkava Mk.2D. Compared to their previous products, this kit is much easier to assemble, and I think it has become a good kit. There were no difficulties in assembling the parts, except that the parting lines and [...]

1/35 Scots Greys M3 Grant.

I enjoyed the Stuart so much that I knocked out another old Tamiya tank kit that lurked in the stash for decades. This one is the 1974 vintage M3 Grant. Not a bad model for 1974. One thing the kit lacks are rails above the sand [...]
