All about AFV and related military model making.
Greetings!
I’ve menaged to finish this little 1/72 scale T90 MS2 from Zvezda.
As almost all Zvezda’s kits, not great, not terrible. Easy to assembly, but lacks many details.
It is small model which I decided to paint in russian green [...]
Here goes my second post.
I have been obsessed recently with World War 2 British equipment. My last post was a Hurricane so I thought it appropriate to represent the ground forces this time. I chose the Valentine because I have been trying [...]

Design from 1942 for a 72 ton class vehicle.
...however, I have to [...]
Humbly submitted for your approval. I hoped to start 2024 off right by building one of my favorite Tamiya kits since middle school. Figures finished using Vallejo paints and Tamiya insignia decals. Vehicle assembled smoothly as expected [...]
This is a Trumpeter 1/35 scale kit of the Chinese 50 ton tank transporter.
The kit had some good reviews but it’s hardly likely to be a best seller due to being a little known military vehicle.
The design has been heavily influenced [...]
