Academy Sherman tank dio 1/48 “Fury-esque”

by neil foster on August 13, 2016 · in Armor · 13 ≡

Last year I saw the utterly dreadful "Fury" starring Brad Pitt(s) and although the movie was so awful I did like the tank and decided to have a little change from what I normaly build,I don't know if I used the correct version of [...]

Dusty Dragon 1:72 Pzkw III

by Dennis Meyers on July 31, 2016 · in Armor · 7 ≡

Can't let my friend Scott's great Sumoa go unanswered. I just finished a Dragon Pzkw III Ausf. J. Great little kit. Plenty of detail for the scale. Painted predominantly with Tamiya German Gray and Deck Tan applied in washes and via [...]

Heller Somua S35

by Scott Nelson on July 30, 2016 · in Armor · 19 ≡

I picked this kit up about a year ago at a model contest. It included a resin turret, storage boxes and some photo etch parts. All for the low price of $5! I used the resin turret and storage boxes. I only used to the photo etched belts [...]

Big Sandy

by Dennis Meyers on June 14, 2016 · in Armor · 10 ≡

A classic. Tamiya's 1:35 M60A1 with reactive armor. The kit built up nice but showed its age. This was a kit that could have been motorized so the rear end needed lots of filling and sanding. The biggest challenge was the weathering. [...]

Wittmann’s Tiger. Academy 1/35

by Roberto Colaianni on June 11, 2016 · in Armor · 7 ≡

In order to make a gift to a German relative, a great lover of World War II history, I quickly build, more or less out of the box, (hard to believe it), the Tiger supposedly used by Michel Wittmann, German tanker ace, commander of the [...]

HobbyBoss 1/48 Sherman M4A2

by Maxim Bylkin on June 3, 2016 · in Armor · 13 ≡

My second tank in 48th scale is this M4A2 Sherman from Hobby Boss - and why haven't I started doing tanks in the 1/48th before? ))) It's like a vacation after building the aircraft models - just assembling a bunch of 150 pieces, soiling [...]
