1/35 French R35 Light Tank

The Very nice Tamiya [ill-fated] Light French R35 Tank...Not a bad tank if used correctly. A match for the Panzer I and II's no doubt...if used in conjunction with communication and mutual support? Now everyone tells me the popularity of [...]

DAK Panzerjager I

Italeri Panzerjager I. Built stock with extra stowage from the spares box and the Panzer Art resin sand bag / track front armor. Building the Italeri kit really makes me appreciate Tamiya.

T-34 in 1/16 scale kit by Trumpeter

Well this was a doozy. The big 1/16 scale T-34 by Trumpeter, full detail inside in out. This build took me exactly 20 days working 7 days a week. This is a good kit, with the typical sketchy directions from Trumpeter, but mold and fit is [...]

Tammy 1/35 Jagdpanther late

T34 Advanced Squad Leader Mash Up

My local IMPS chapter is having a T34 group build. A bunch of the 1/35 Tamiya T34 kits were donated to the club from a deceased members stash. I need another kit like another hole in the head so I decided to check my stash and found a [...]
