Tamiya 1/35th scale M10 IIC Achilles TD

Greetings fellow modellers! For those that build armour kits, I cannot recommend this model highly enough. Goes together like a dream, very simple, straightforward and most of all FUN to build. Tamiya has created models that make [...]

42 - 1/48 HobbyBoss US M4A3 (76)W Tank

This was my first tank build and I really enjoyed it - a nice scale to start with and a very nice kit with a lot of fun building and detail. I added some stowage to make it look in service and created my own tarp using tissues and watered [...]

E-75 Flakpanzer 5,5cm (Rheinmetall Turret) (1/72)

Flakpanzer on E-75 Standardpanzer chassis. 5,5cm Zwillingsflak- Gerät 58, Rheinmetall turret. For this project i´ve used Modelcollect´s UA72019 kit. This kit is based on their pre- built collection series, which means that all the tools [...]

Dragon 1/35 Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. E

Dragon's first newly fooled Panzer IV Ausf. E that appeared in 2005 marked for me the beginning of the armor modelling era. It is a highly detailed model kit with separate track links and slide molded surface texture. Although the model [...]

Panzer I Ausf A, Takom 1/35

This was my first Takom kit and loved it. No problems whatsoever with the assembly. I'm still learning how to assemble track & link tracks so made a few mistakes with that. The kit comes with decals for four different options. This [...]

"Britain's Beast!" -- Tamiya Mk IV Male

Another fantastic kit from Tamiya. A joy to build, especially the tracks. Totally OTB and nothing added except many, many (many) hours and sessions of weathering and layering. I threw lots and lots of stuff at this beast. Pigments, [...]

New Mini Art M3 Stuart 1/35 scale

I have always liked light tanks as a type (I don't have to use one in combat), and have built quite a few. Always been a big fan of the little thing named after J.E.B. Stuart also. As soon as I saw this new release from Ukrainian Mini-Art [...]

SADF Centurion Mk.5

My recently completed 1/35 AFV Club Centurion Mk.5. I have done this as one used by the South African Armoured Corps when based in Walvis Bay, South West Africa (now called Namibia). The flag on the right of the name plate is the South [...]

Krauss-Maffei Wegmann Kampfpanzer Leopard 1A5

Hi all, This is the Takom kit of the Leopard 1A5 in Bundeswehr service. The kit was an easy build, though it was a strange choice to not include any placement nubs, dimples or markings for the mounting bosses for the skirt armor around the [...]

Nine Pound British Smooth Bore Field Cannon

Here’s a Cannon, this is meant to be a British 9lb Smooth Bore Cannon. Saw the drawing for this little Cannon in the Model Engineer ( English publication ) can’t remember the date it was printed, but it was about 30 yrs odd ago, or [...]
