All about AFV and related military model making.
Wow, this was some kind of kit. RFM apparently is actually a Trumpeter from what I can tell, the dead give away is the instructions, which made this kit a challenge to say the least. No real instructions on how to assemble the photoetched [...]
The Jagdpanther has always been a popular subject with modelers and there is no shortage of kits available in all the popular scales. The latest Jagdpanther in 1/72 scale is this 2021 offering from Vespid which depicts a late production [...]
I have a friend who wanted a model collection but hadn't the time to build them. One of the subjects he really wanted was an M4 Sherman decked out in winter camouflage. Armed with that knowledge I went to work, using the venerable old 70's [...]
I did this little Sherman tank as a build along live on my YouTube channel. My fans bought the kit and built along with me from start to finish in 8 hours! It was a lot of fun and I think they all learned some great basic modeling skills! [...]
Here is a pair of the Vespid Models Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer (early production) kits. Some manufacturers get a whole lot of mileage from their Hetzer tools – Attack has 13 in their line-up and UM has 15, we’ll see how far Vespid goes [...]

This is my take on the Academy 1/35 Sherman Calliope. I'm a Shermanholic and I like Shermans with interesting features.
I've taken time to search for reference for this build. Details omitted by the Academy kit are replaced or recreated. [...]
This is the ancient kit from Italeri. I've bought this cheap and with a broken decal sheet. But I wanted to finish this kit without breaking my wallet. And here is my effort to it.
The build is quite simple. Most parts are out of the box. [...]
Tamiya 251 “Stuka zu fuss”. Built straight from the box with some added stowage. Other than the initial paint and filter I tried using only pigments for weathering. I first made up light (exterior) and dark (interior) mixtures to [...]
After my first positive experience with Armour in 1/72 scale, I decided to focus more on these smaller models. Besides being able to practice weathering, it also brings some welcome distraction every now and then, during larger projects, [...]
