M18 Hellcat

Just finished my Academy M18 Hellcat... Bought as soon as it came out in 1997, started almost as soon as I got it home and finished this morning ! - no I'm not kidding. I used about 30% of the Verlinden kit-specific detail set including [...]

Tank Museum part two; Tank Heaven in Devon!

1/35 Tamiya KV-1 Russian tank with Bolt on Armor

This KV-1 was a monster of a tank for it's time... and it caught the Germans by nasty surprise when they first encountered them in combat on the Eastern Front. In fact this tank is probably one of the reasons (along with the smaller / [...]

PzKpfw II Ausf. F Afrika Korps (Revell 1/76)

Hello everybody, this is my first tank, I wanted to build it for my son - he is big fan of World of tanks... Because of my first vehicle, I wanted to start with something cheap, small, not complicated... The build was really quick - 2 or 3 [...]
