Takom Chieftain Mk10 Berlin Bde

by Ian Foulkes on May 6, 2021 · in Armor · 11 ≡

This was the final variant of the Chieftain to see service in Berlin before the wall came down. I'm currently working on the wheels, which Takom have moulded the outer set of the tires separately. I'm using the Vallejo Acrylic Wheels and [...]

Takom Chieftain Mk5c Berlin Bde

by Ian Foulkes on May 6, 2021 · in Armor · 2 ≡

She is slowly coming together! I'm at the stage of trying to touch up the camouflage. I've already made a base to mount her on.

Takom 1/35 Canadian C2 Leopard Mexas

by Ian Foulkes on May 6, 2021 · in Armor · 4 ≡

This is the Takom kit of the C2 Mexas. I've heard some not too complimentary things about the turret of the Takom kit. As I'm doing another (Meng) C2 but with the thermal cover to the turret and driving area, I decided to [...]

Danish Leopard 1A5DK

by Ian Foulkes on May 6, 2021 · in Armor · 4 ≡

This is the Legend Productions conversion kit combined with the Meng Leopard 1 A3/A4 kit. Again, all Danish Leopards came from 1 production variant, but unlike the Australian Leopards, Danish one's were all based on the A4. This is a great [...]

Australian Leopard AS1 Dozer

by Ian Foulkes on May 6, 2021 · in Armor · 4 ≡

My favourite part is the weathering. This is the AS1 from the Leap of Leopards article I posted in the Armour WIP group. The dozer blade is Mouse House, as is the conversion kit, all mated to a Meng Leopard 1 A3/A4. For those doing the [...]

Dutch Leopard 1

by Ian Foulkes on May 6, 2021 · in Armor · 2 ≡

Here's the latest with the Dutch Leopard. Now painted in Olive Gelb and sealed in with another gloss coat. Next to add some pin washes and weathering. The kit is the new mould Revell one, which I think is good value for money. I'm using [...]

Leopard AS 1 Olive Drab Lusterless Update

by Ian Foulkes on May 6, 2021 · in Armor · 4 ≡

Images taken 06/05/21. This is my Leopard AS1 in ODL finish with a mud cam pattern. I've replaced both the baskets on the back with newer ones. I'm still getting the hang of brass folding! Not shown is the stowage I'm currently making for [...]

Leopard AS1 Aus Cam Update

by Ian Foulkes on May 6, 2021 · in Armor · 4 ≡

Here's the latest (as of 06/05/21) of My AS1 3 colour Cam. I've now added some stowage and weathering on the wheels. I'm going to do this one as if it was on the ranges, so red flag and not overly weathered...

Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair, 1/48. A Folded Bird.

by Harvey R. on May 6, 2021 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

Afternoon folks, here's another older build and another Corsair, this time it was my first attempt at trying to handle the ANA 623 Sea Blue. This Corsair was built alongside my previous post, the Birdcage F4U-1, and was started early [...]
