Another armor gem from Dragon
Gasoline 1/48 Krupp Sd Kfz.101 Panzer 1 sIG 33 and Panzer 1 Ausf. B . 1/48 is the best scale when you just want a simple, fast, yet cool build when building armour. It was fun. Many more 1/48 armour builds to come. This is fun.

This is the 1971 Tamiya kit built as “Caughoo” of the 8th King’s Irish Hussars in Korea, 1950. “Caughoo” is notable for destroying a Cromwell that had been previously captured by the North Koreans. I replaced the kit’s awful [...]
