All about AFV and related military model making.
This kit caught my eye at my favorite local hobby shop. Having built Tiger Model's nice 1:72 Abrams a few years ago I expected this to be a good kit and was not disappointed. Besides its very nicely molded plastic, good decals, metal [...]
And my dad´s little armour journey continues.
Tamiya kit built oob, sadly only one scheme provided, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards 7th Armored Brigade during the Iraq War. But as I´ve seen, Hobby Boss is gonna release a non desertized 1/48 [...]
