All about AFV and related military model making.
When I was a kid back in the early 70’s, one of my older brothers was into motorized toys. He had the airplanes on strings that went round in big circles, a little gas-powered ATV, and this 1/25 scale Tamiya tank which had a battery [...]
Two models by Meng and Zvezda. The latter has the rear fuel tanks installed. Both models are complex to build yet, the results are well worth the effort. Meng's model is better engineered and has workable tracks although the natural sag of [...]
Hola from the Spain!
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.

My Mark V (Male) is finally finished. Yes! was not so productive recently...
The idea was to provide this model with two environments; one side in the reality of muddy terrain and the other one in a museum. The museum side is opened [...]

The combination of the giant AT-T mover and a large radar dish make an imposing and realistic looking model. The building process is straight forward. I was tempted to paint the model with the attractive 3 tones Russian camouflage scheme. [...]
Sometimes it has its advantages not to be an expert in a certain field- which for me is irrefutably true with regard to trucks This statement recently proved true for me when I built this GMC tanker: on the one hand, looking at the unknown [...]
The M2 is a fully tracked vehicle designed to tow aircraft on primitive airfields. It was equipped with a 10,000 lb winch with 300 ft of 3⁄8 in cable, an auxiliary 110V generator and an air compressor. It was powered by a 404cid Hercules [...]
