Tamiya 1/35 Sd.Kfz.250/9

The Sd.Kfz 250 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug; 'Special vehicle') was a light armoured half-track build by DEMAG, very similar in appearance to the larger Hanomag-designed Sd.Kfz. 251. The 250/9 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen (armoured infantry [...]

2cm Salvenmaschinenkanone SMK18-Typ2, Das Werk 1/35

First kit of 2024, a german experimental Flack Gun from WWII, SMK18-Typ2; i made a small base to display the model too. Very nice kit. Saludos

Winter Tiger

my local IPMS club, Tulsa Modelers does a monthly theme January is winter Wonderland, so anything with a winter camo over having served in cold climates was fair game. I built the Tamiya 1/35 king Tiger, and gave it a winter white wash. [...]

Pz.Kpfw.35(t), Academy 1/35

This is my second tank build. Overall, the kit was a quick and easy build. However. there were a few issues with the kit. The rear hatch that goes over the engine compartment was not a good fit and required some shaving down the [...]

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

Chose this since the late model JP's did not have Zimmerit so I did not have to search far and wide for an AM set. Typical Tammy engineering and fit was present throughout the model altho I did cheat and add an AM barrel as well as an RFM [...]
