All about AFV and related military model making.

Dirty 'Beast'

First started in December, then back to the bench about a month ago ahead of a competition over in Hamilton in September. Tamiya's well known ISU-152 really does fall together with only the link-and-length tracks giving [me] a challenge [...]

Tamiya Panther Ausf. A

Ciao everybody, my name is Paolo and I’m and Italian modeller; here my Panther A from an old Tamiya kit. Stay safe Paolo

French Army AMX-30B

Finally finished this superb model by Meng. Originally found in a charity shop, I was amazed that only 1 tiny part was missing. Meng make some very high quality parts, but the tracks were an absolute pain to make and took quite awhile. [...]

The big and the small: Hobbyboss 1/72 Railway Gun 80cm K(E) "Dora" & Meng 1/35 French FT-17 (Riveted Turret)

Both kits have no building issues. The trench diorama base is provided with the model.

Revell 1/35 Panzerhaubitze PzH 2000

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 [...]
