All about AFV and related military model making.
My 5th model from Meng (and 6th from the start of my modeling journey). The work was a pleasure (quality!).
Tamiya British 7ton Armoured Car Mk IV 1:48.

Here is my first article. Built back in 2006, this is my favorite German WWII armored vehicle. Built with aftermarket barrel, tracks, figures and fenders. Always liked this pattern, slightly different with the hard edge finish. All [...]
OK... my latest attempt at dirtying armor.
Used most of the Hauler P-E set... the jerry can straps were really "fun". Also used an RB turned aluminum barrel, Aber "feelers" (? dunno what they're called) and added [...]
Greetings everyone !
I finished this one up a few nights ago... when I finished the Russian KV-1 with bolt on applique armor.
