All about AFV and related military model making.
Original kit from 1995, maybe the only Tadpole 1/35 available right now (the Takon version is out of stock everywhere), this is not a Tamiya or Trumpeter model so the fiting is not the best, It needed a fair amount of work to produce a [...]
This is the Academy Stug IV. Pretty simple kit, but at 1/2 the price of other similar kits on the market its pretty good. Went together well and wnen it's all finished it definitely looks like it's ready for action.

Recently I finished my adventure with 1/24 scale planes and started playing with 1/16 scale tanks. I present my first model on this scale, which I worked on for 3 months. This is Tiger I from Boss Hobby. The model is very impressive, it is [...]
I got tired of the T-90 model that I had been trying to finish for a while and put it on display and decided to start a new model. Erhan Atalay gave me this interesting kit.
Many sprues that came out of the kit box were hardly used. There [...]
Here’s the Italeri Tiger I E with a ton of extras. I used leftover brass, bits of plastic and wire and unused parts from various other kits. The markings are of Otto Carius’s “213” of pz.abt 502 from Bison Decals.
