Tamiya 1/35 T-55A
My candidate for the best looking tank model ever.
Models have been along periodically since childhood.
Over the years, I built close to 1000 models.
1/48th N/AW & A-10A Thunderbolt II
Models of originally single seat fighters/bombers converted to tandem seats may have more appeal. The A-10 follows the path. Hobbyboss' N/AW A-10A is a good model. The optional extended flaps and air brakes add much to the dynamics of the [...]
Dragon 1/35 M7 Priest (early production)
Another armor gem from Dragon
1/48th Me 163 and Scheuch-Schlepper
A gem Dragon model depicting the innovative rocket propelled fighter. The Scheuch-Schlepper is a CMK resin kit.
Hobbyboss 1/35 M911 C-HET
Tank carriers models are impressive. The 1/35 M911 C-HET is even more so because it looks real.
By comparison to the Meng counterpart, Hobbyboss' HET has its advantages and disadvantages. Generally, the model is less detailed and somewhat [...]
Trumpeter 1/48 Mig 21UM
A well photographed Croat Mig Mongol that I thought would be a weekend project, but remained un-finished for some time. As it turned out the problem was not with the kit.
Trumpeter's Mig 21UM is a good kit. By comparison in terms of [...]
1/35 PzKpfw Nb.Fz Panzerkampfwagen Neubaufahrzeug
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 [...]
1/48th Focke wulf 190D-9
The counterpart of the British Tempest not only in performance, but also with a resolute stance which is well retained in the 1/48th model. Yet, maximum effect is achieved if the radiator flaps are in the open position.
I present here four [...]
Trumpeter 1/35 Bruckenleger IV
Although it looks like another innovative project the German bridge laying tank was far from new and also proved un successful. By the time of its inception the Allies had similar tanks in service. During initial trials it failed to meet [...]
1/48 Heinkel He-162A Volksjaeger
In its brief operational role, the small fighter made a lasting impression thanks to its revolutionary design.
Of the four models presented here, one is Tamiya's and the rest are Dragon kits. Both are very good kits. Yet, I had to replace [...]
