iModeler Armor

All about AFV and related military model making.

1/35 Char B1 Bis.

This is the excellent Tamiya kit built straight from the box for the most part. I’ve come to enjoy dabbling in simple Tamiya armor kits as a break from airplanes. This one sat on the side of the bench for a couple of years, slowly [...]

My first tank: T-34 from Zvezda in 1/35 scale

Wanting a break from tanks and planes, I pulled this from deep in my stash. As I've said before, I have a love/hate relationship with soft skin military vehicle kits. Love the interesting subjects. Hate the fiddly parts. Happily, this [...]

I haven't posted on here in a while but just...

I haven't posted on here in a while but just started my new project. SURPRISE it's not a 1/700 ship. I started on my new 1/35 Ryefield M1 Abrams. I got bored doing ships so I changed pace. I must say that this kit is worth the price. The [...]

Tamiya 1/48 Tiger 1

If you’re familiar with my previous articles, you'll know about my affinity for Tamiya 1/48th scale military model kits. Despite their low parts counts they have just about all the detail of 1/35 scale armor kits. There are no flash or [...]
