All about AFV and related military model making.
First model tanks I've built since oh...1980 or so. I decided to give this one it's own name and not build any of the 4 versions this kit has decals for. I just kind of wanted a name on there that looks like it was "scrawled on in the [...]
More work on the Dragon Panther, added the casting numbers to the mantlet, metal barrel, and debris cover, also a look at one of the stowage bins, and a couple of pics of some good beers from the Pacific Northwest! This si the best time [...]

We had our first real snow of the winter last night, so I thought I would venture out into the sub zero temperature to take some pictures of this old, but venerable, Tamiya kit. I completed this about 18 months ago, just before joining [...]
