iModeler Armor

All about AFV and related military model making.

AMX 13 IDF

This was my return to the hobby after 30 years away (girls, college, work, new family...). The evolution of the kits and the tools and supplies surprised me... Here in Brazil we have few options of stores (physical or virtual), and most [...]

German Kugelpanzer (1/35)

There is almost no information about the Kugelpanzer today. Only one original can be seen in the russian Kubinka museum. However, this was completely gutted. It is certain that an unknown number was delivered to Japan as a reconnaissance [...]

Ready for restoration: PT-76B (1/72)

This dio represents a graveyard where old soviet equipment is stored and now some of it is being restored to be handed over to a museum.- a second life for old stuff:) First I wanted to display the PT in the "normal" [...]

My one foray in braille scale

The G40 bulldozer was initialized by the Japanese Navy in the early 1940's. This is based on an agricultural tractor and was one of the first of its kind in Japan. The intended use was to make the construction of airfields faster and [...]

M1A2 SEP V2 Abrams (1/72)

These M1 Abrams were seen during winter maneuver exercises in Germany. I liked the worn NATO/bronze green over the CARC tan with the white winter camouflage, so i chose this scheme because I think it's a change from the "usual" [...]

Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger 1 (Sd.kfz.181) Ausfuehrung

FINISHED! My first Tiger / Panzer Grey… there are probably some parts in the wrong places?, so please let me know?:)))…but I had fun if a bit off on the accuracy? An old kit, still had battery markings in inner hull… Hope you [...]

WWII German LWS

It’s a re-do work of a WWII German LWS, I made a mistake of using oil base wash to applied onto an oil painted model(see last picture)…then I washed all color away and re painted it. Also added an rubber raft on to it.
