Models have been along periodically since childhood.
Over the years, I built close to 1000 models.
I want to share my excitement from this great hobby with the images presented here.
Tha German Panzerkampfwagen Neubaufahrzeug (new construction vehicle) was used mainly for propaganda purposes back in 1935. Of the five tanks produced, three arrived to Norway in 1940 to support the ground forces. Only one made it to the [...]

Two models of 3 makes. The one is Trumpeter and Hobbycraft kit bashed. The second is the more recent Airfix kit. The Airfix kit is superior to the other kits. However, the wing fold mechanism is basic In all, both kits look cool when [...]
