Hi, i'm Simon from Austria
I got actively back into the hobby in 2021.
Modeling has been a part of my life since I left Lego.
In between there were always a few breaks and a few years in the fantasy tabletop scene, but it never let go of me.
Before that I worked in 1/35 scale and after I got back I learned to love the 72nd scale.
Inspired by the modeler Sergey Golikov.
Trumpeter's T-80BV.
(07145)
At Trumpeter 1/72nd scale models, i'm always a bit skeptical about quality as far as details are concerned.
They are not bad, clean casting and good fit and so on, also here everything is available, but I am [...]
I´ve planed to fix this project within two days- As a small New Year's challenge 😉
Didn't quite work, the processing of the base took too much time...
However, quite a nice kit and for it´s size quite good details and cheap to get.

Only on the upper [...]
A nice little kit but it also has a few disadvantages.
Here I also use the opportunity to reduce my inventory of conversion parts a bit;).
There are two options for the bogies included- a one-piece, simplified version and one to [...]
The idea for this project came to me while reading the new issue of the AK Wornart Collection.
Representing an M1 in this form seemed like a good idea to me.
It is intended to represent a used M1 that is stored in the Army depot and [...]
Vespid Models´ Panther Ausf.G in 1/72 scale (VS720008)
Built out of the box.
An excellent manufacturing quality.
Details and accuracy of fit are very good.
The 3d printed IR deviceis also in impeccable quality and has many subtleties.

I got the idea from Vallejo's "Red Steel" publication.
A egyptian tank after the Jom Kippur war in1973.
Some T-54/55 were recovered and repaired with different parts from this series.
They also were repainted and used in training [...]
Once again a "recycling project" of mine.
Since I switched to my new main scale 1/72nd, I don`t work any longer in this scale.
However, there is still material for residual recycling.
The T-34 turret belongs to a Dragon kit, [...]
