Premium Hobbies 1/72 P-47D

by Mark P Hartig on February 4, 2024 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Having seen these at Amazon for $15 I decided to try one. Did not know what to expect but what it turned out to be was an Academy rebox. Sure seems to be alot of that gong around these days. No mousetraps, above average detail, great [...]

Tammy 1/35 Jagdpanther late

by Mark P Hartig on December 16, 2023 · in Armor · 9 ≡

Chose this since the late model JP's did not have Zimmerit so I did not have to search far and wide for an AM set. Typical Tammy engineering and fit was present throughout the model altho I did cheat and add an AM barrel as well as an RFM [...]

Yet Another Corsair

by Scott Nelson on May 12, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

First I did “I like jugs.” Then I created “Spitfirepalooza.” Now I’m on the edge of being obsessed with Corsairs and having to create a name for said obsession. Here’s my third Corsair of the year, the Tamiya 1/72 F4U-1D. [...]

1/35 Tamiya Jagdpanzer L/70 new tool

by Mark P Hartig on October 3, 2022 · in Armor · 9 ≡

I built this a couple years back only to put it on the shelf as I really did not know what to do with it. FF to this year and a determined effort to reduce the shelf, here's what I came up with for this one. The kit itself was flawless in [...]

1/35 Tristar Panzer I

by Mark P Hartig on October 2, 2022 · in Armor · 6 ≡

This is from a long time ago, perhaps as much as eleven years as I was just getting back into the hobby. I recall it being fairly fussy in assembly with large sprue attachments but good molding and a mostly complete interior. I was still [...]

Rommel visits

by Mark P Hartig on September 5, 2022 · in Armor · 11 ≡

This is the 1/35 Tamiya Panzer III L with the Masterbox DAK figure set. A sweet, enjoyable mostly OOB build with a little scratching due to the open turret hatches, it's loosely based on the famous photo of Rommel and a crew on their [...]

Academy Tiger I with interior

by Mark P Hartig on February 28, 2022 · in Armor · 11 ≡

This is from late 2018, the Academy Tiger I with interior. I've heard a fair amount of complaints about this kit but did not experience any major difficulties with it, I recall it being complex but not difficult. Fit was fine and it looks [...]

Italeri M-4A1 and Tamiya Cromwell

by Mark P Hartig on February 23, 2022 · in Armor · 14 ≡

This is another older project from 2018. For me, a very large diorama, much bigger than I usually like to do, it took a long time to finish up. The old Italeri Sherman is still a good kit. This one was improved with stippled on and lightly [...]

Revellogram 1/48 B-17G

by Mark P Hartig on February 13, 2022 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

This is a build for a friend whose father was initial crew on this aircraft in WW II. An old molding that I'm sure many here are familiar with, it was a decent kit considering it's age and the manufacturing limitations of the seventies. It [...]

1/35 AFV Club M-24 Chaffe

by Mark P Hartig on February 5, 2022 · in Armor · 13 ≡

This one dates back to 2018 when the AFV Club offering was still pretty new. The kit is supposed to give you the option of an articulating suspension but bad engineering makes this very hard to achieve; I did not invest the time needed to [...]
