E-25 Paperpanzer
This time is a Trumpeter reference at 1/35 scale. I don't like specially the paperpanzers, but I enjoyed building this one.

All about AFV and related military model making.
M3A1 Half-Track – Dragon 1:35
I think pretty much anyone who builds armor wants to build a Half-track at some point and I’m no exception. This is the first Dragon kit I’ve built since getting back into the modeling game and found it pretty darn nice. I built the [...]
King Tiger – Dragon 1/72
Well, normally I build planes, 1/72 scale. Sometimes I like to build tanks.
This is my 4th tank in 35 years of plane.
This is a kit Dragon (7361) of the King Tiger with the Henschel turret, around 1944.
Probably there is a big mistake. [...]
Mk.23 MTVR USMC Cargo Truck: Tow Vehicle for my M198 155mm Gun
Last week I posted my build of the Trumpeter 1/35 M198 155mm Howitzer Gun. I received some good feedback and some asked if I built something to tow it. This article is a response to that question. Yes, I put a good amount of time into [...]
1/35 AFV T-34 Tank with Interior in Winter Wash Camo
I have a lot of 1st with this build. It was, and still is, my 1st T-34. It is my 1st Tank model with a full interior, use of chipping paints solution, using real oil paints for weathering, and finally my 1st attempt at a winter wash [...]
Battle of Kasserine Pass, M-4 Sherman “early” of the 1st Armored Division, Tunisia 1943
Finally, this one is done. I completed it last night.

Tamiya 1/35 M40 Self-Propelled 155mm Gun.
The M40 is a fairly new release for Tamiya and it is AWESOME! This model OOB is a dream to build full of intensive detail, outstanding engineering, and excellent fit. It even includes the full firing crew figures which are some of the [...]
Trumpeter 1/35 M198 155mm Towed Howitzer (Late)
This is the 1st and only stand alone cannon I ever built. I enjoy taking on different subjects and this fit the bill. This was a fairly easy, average level build appropriate for all model makers with a bit of PE bending experience. It [...]
1/35 Tamiya M60A1 USMC MBT with Reactive Armor: Desert Warrior
The M60 series although outdated is still my favorite tank of all time. I think it just looks like a MBT and to me represents an outstanding war machine of the cold-war era. It has that heavy, rough, and tough look that represents USMC [...]
Tiger Tank Collection & Fury Exhibit
I took these photos of The Tiger Tank Collection, and the Fury Exhibit during the TANKMOD Model Show at the Tank Museum in Bovington last October.
In a worlds first, the museum has brought together every member of the Tiger Tank family in [...]
