All about AFV and related military model making.
Soviet SU-76M
(Zvezda 6239)
I´ve planed to fix this project within two days- As a small New Year's challenge 😉
Didn't quite work, the processing of the base took too much time...
However, quite a nice kit and for it´s size quite good [...]
Panther Ausf.G form Vespid Models
(VS720008)
A kit that can only be recommended.
Fine and sharp details and the accuracy of fit is on the whole quite good.
Only the rollers and the swing arms had slight tolerances during assembly.
But the [...]
The idea for this project came to me while reading the new issue of the AK Wornart Collection.
Representing an M1 in this form seemed like a good idea to me;).
It is intended to represent a used M1 that is stored in the Army depot and [...]
M3A1- The right choice if you like cast armor 😉

E-50 Flakpanzer
(Trumpeter, 07124)
One of the biggest mistakes of the Trumpeter box art is that they always show their 1/35 models on it, therefore, the content doesn´t quite match what is shown.
The kit doesn´t contain many parts and is [...]
Trumpeter's T-80BV.
(07145)
At Trumpeter 1/72nd scale models, i'm always a bit skeptical about quality as far as details are concerned.
They are not bad, clean casting and good fit and so on, also here everything is available, but I am [...]
Here is my recently completed 1/35 Olfant Mk.2 MBT as developed for and used by the South African National Defence Force.
Kit used is the Hobbyboss Olifant Mk.1B MBT which box is is incorrectly labelled as it is the Mk.2.
Paints used are [...]
The smallest vehicle i've ever build so far!
I decided to use a pre-war camouflage for my object.
It was called "Japanese camouflage pattern" and was used until 1936.
The colors used were olive green, light gray and sand brown, [...]
