1/72 Panzer I

This is the Flyhawk 1/72 Panzer I Ausf. F EARLY VERSION A very nice kit but a bit fiddly...especially the individual tracks...this takes a bit of patience! I added a few figures to give it some life on the base. Flyhawk makes some [...]

2024 Major Projects

Here are some of the bigger projects I have planned.

1/35 French R35 Light Tank

The Very nice Tamiya [ill-fated] Light French R35 Tank...Not a bad tank if used correctly. A match for the Panzer I and II's no doubt...if used in conjunction with communication and mutual support? Now everyone tells me the popularity of [...]

DAK Panzerjager I

Italeri Panzerjager I. Built stock with extra stowage from the spares box and the Panzer Art resin sand bag / track front armor. Building the Italeri kit really makes me appreciate Tamiya.

T-34 in 1/16 scale kit by Trumpeter

Well this was a doozy. The big 1/16 scale T-34 by Trumpeter, full detail inside in out. This build took me exactly 20 days working 7 days a week. This is a good kit, with the typical sketchy directions from Trumpeter, but mold and fit is [...]

STUG Ⅲ AUSF.G 1945 ALKETT PROD.

Mini-Art kit It is finished straight except for the wire rope which is not included in the kit. It is a well-made kit and was fun to paint.

My 30th model of the year!

Here is my 30th model of the year the 1/48 scale Tamiya Army Air Corps fuel truck. These 1/48 scale Tamiya armor kits are terrific builds that you can build fairly quickly. Zero fit issues and easy to follow instructions, great for the [...]

Horch FLAK conversion

Just completed a Horch / FLAK 38 conversion project. Kits used were the Italeri trailer, Tamiya Horch, Tamiya Luftwaffe Afrika artillery figures and Tamiya 2cm FLAK. Decks were made using popsicle sticks and styrene.
