All about AFV and related military model making.
Greetings to all forum members.
I recently received this kit from Copper State Models (CSM), and quickly set about putting it together. I had always hoped that some manufacturer would release this vehicle in 1/35 scale.
A couple of years [...]
Here's another vehicle for my Cold War gone hot series. This is the 1/35th Tamiya Marder. Sadly, this old kit is the only early version Marder available, all the others being post 1985. The kit will be depicted rushing past the M48A2GA2 as [...]
Here's another vehicle for my "Cold War gone hot" series. This is the Revell 1/35th M48A2GA2. The major construction is now done and I've started the weathering. I've added a small amount of battle damage on the front left side [...]

Before I start, a disclaimer. This involves Russian subjects in a Russian made Movie. I have been working on these since last Year when I saw the Movie. It in no way relates to the present situation involving Russia and their actions of [...]
This is from late 2018, the Academy Tiger I with interior. I've heard a fair amount of complaints about this kit but did not experience any major difficulties with it, I recall it being complex but not difficult. Fit was fine and it looks [...]
One of Tamiya's classic kits - the Hanomag 251/1. Finished this one a few years back and finally posting the finished model. I had a few spare benches and stowage bins but needed to scratch build a few more to replace the kit supplied [...]
