All about AFV and related military model making.
Whew... finally, after 190 hours and 9 months of work, another model from the Trumpeter stable is finished. This time it's Pz.IV J with 31 Pz.Rgt 5Pz.Div. from the time of fighting in East Prussia in the fall of 1944. I added captured [...]

This is the Meng 1/35 kit of the T-72.
I built it at sea last year and sprayed it back on land on my leave.
I finished it early February, but was a bit reluctant to post it with current global affairs.
