Italeri 1/35 M-24 Chaffee (Backdated)

Had this kit laying in the stash for quite a while. Saw the movie "Bridge at Remagen" and got inspired to build it. Funny, two months after I built this, Bronco announces it is releasing an early version Chaffee. The Italeri [...]

First day of hunting American Armor season....

Here's a little idea I came up with this morning : One angry StuG hunting American armor. I took 2 pics. one pic is from the view ( if you can call it such ) from the intended targets, and the other is from the hunter's viewpoint.

Panzer Vor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a treat: One StuG III F, one M4 Sherman Custom, and one Walker Bulldog... all in one shot. Well, three shots. The M4 Sherman Custom : I took off the original 75mm gun, and replaced it with a gun from an old Dragon Panther II kit. [...]

From the Dark Side

This is a Revell of Germany 1/72nd Abrahms with resin stowage. Can't beat R of G in braille scale armor. The markings are dry transfer. Just a touch of weathering.

Mr. Churchill’s tank…AFV Club 1/35 Infantry escort….

1/48th Bandai SdKfz 232 Fulfilling an Old Modeling Adage.

There is an old adage that if you spend the time to build an old difficult kit then a mainstream model company will release a new state of the art version of the kit soon after. Now, I am not going to say it’s true, but I’m not going [...]

Light tank MC-1the first Soviet. 1:35.

This vignette 5 years, I think. Company model AER Moldova, very crude and inaccurate. But then, it's just I was not paying attention))) Mechanic - tank crewman of a set of ICM. So, Russia, the end of the 20s, somewhere on the dirt road ...

OK, Mr. Foster, I'll "Verse" ya with my Buetpanzer....

Built this number on accounna I liked the colors in the captured camo scheme. It's the 1/72 Emhar Mk. IV "Male" on my 5-minute western front. That's my backyard in the distance. The 1/35 in on sale at my LHS. Hmmmm BTW I like [...]
