M109A1 155mm Self Propelled Howitzer

This is my newest model. The M109A1 SP gun. The M109 is America’s most prominent legacy self propelled gun since the 1960s, following the M110 203mm self propelled gun in 203mm. The M109 has been a standard SP Howitzer in many NATO [...]

Meng 1/35 Merkava 4M and 4LIC

Similar to the German Tiger tank model, I cannot resist the temptation to build yet, another Merkava tank model. Meng's excellent Merkava 4 model appeared in two variants presented here. The 4M with the Trophy active protection system and [...]

Revell 1/35 Panzerhaubitze PzH 2000

My latest completed work. The Revell 1/35 Panzerhaubitze PzH 2000 155mm SPH. This a completely OOB build with no aftermarket parts. The only mods are the 2 x antenna made from 0,3mm spring steel wire, carry basket on the front of the [...]

Meng 1/35 D9R armored bulldozer

An excellent kit by Meng depicting the Israeli version Doobie (teddy bear). I added Voyager's slat armor, which resembles the real armor than the plastic option. It is a complex and time consuming build, but well worth the effort.

Tamiya JGSDF Type 90

Recently completed a Tamiya Japanese Type 90 MBT. Great build, loved every second of it! Spray painted with Tamiya colours and decals follow the markings for the Hokkaido 7th Division 72nd Tank Regiment. Might find some miscellaneous [...]

1/76 Matchbox Char B1 bis & Renault FT-17Belgium, 14-16 May 1940

Here is the amazing Matchbox diorama from 1983! Tanks are built straight from the box for the most part. Paints are all Humbrol enamels and the decals came from the old kit.

1/35 Char B1 Bis.

This is the excellent Tamiya kit built straight from the box for the most part. I’ve come to enjoy dabbling in simple Tamiya armor kits as a break from airplanes. This one sat on the side of the bench for a couple of years, slowly [...]

Hello, I grew up during the 70's finished high school in 77! The old Monogram models where abundant back then I was inspired by Shep Paine had no idea there was a plastic modeller's club and soon after high school I joined up with IPMS [...]

My first tank: T-34 from Zvezda in 1/35 scale

Up to now I built only WW2 fighters and after a while a tried something new for me. Quite an experience, seemed to me a lot of work, maybe because it was something new. Basically I followed the tutorials of Nightshift from Youtube, [...]

TIGER I "DAS REIGH KURSK"

The kit is the old ACADEMY full interior. There are many newer kits and offcourse much better. Old kit with small fitting problems. The tracks are piece by piece a little tricky. The model painted with Tamiya Colours and Winsor varnish. I [...]
