All about AFV and related military model making.
I painted Tamiya's T-55 in the Gzhel pattern. The actual tank in this paint scheme exists in Russia.
After painting it white with an airbrush, I used a blue color that is typical of ceramics to paint in the pattern. It was a little [...]
I enjoyed the Stuart so much that I knocked out another old Tamiya tank kit that lurked in the stash for decades. This one is the 1974 vintage M3 Grant. Not a bad model for 1974. One thing the kit lacks are rails above the sand [...]
I’ve start building the 1975 rebox kit (code MM157) of the King Tiger in the late 1980’s and, due to bad tracks, shelfed it until this spring. Back then, can’t precise when, I’ve bought a (plastic) separate tracks links for this [...]
Hi everyone since New Zealand is being lockdown again, I have built couple models. Su 100 just done by today, M8 90%, Universal Carriers 80% Famo just finished first coating. I will update more photos later on. Thanks for reading
Hi everyone, here is my Border Models, Pz.Kpfw.IV G, in 1/35 scale.
Camouflage was sprayed freehand with a 20$ airbrush and AK interactive RC colors (ratio of 1:1).
Have a great day!

After banging out 20 airplane kits in a row, along with 3 in progress since COVID started, my mojo has waned a bit. For a little change of pace, I pulled this 1974 Tamiya Stuart kit from the stash and had some fun. I purchased a Star [...]
Well how 'bout that? I finished a model. As it says, first finished this year. I have many going, but getting them done, is another story. I have always liked the looks and color scheme of this puppy. The 7TP was Poland's heavy hitter, a [...]
If you're an armor modeler that really looks forward to the painting and weathering stage, you can never go wrong with Tamiya's 1/48 scale kits--hiqh quality, low parts count and detail that compares to larger scale kits. After doing some [...]
