All about AFV and related military model making.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Eastern front Wiking division half track. Finishing done using Tamiya and Vallejo paints. Weathering was done primarily with washes with Vallejo German Camo black brown, dry brushing with Vallejo Iraqi sand, MiG tan filter and AK summer [...]

Alkett Vs.Kfz.617/ NK-101 Minenräumer
This vehicle for cleaning minefields was designed by Alkett, Krupp, and Daimler-Benz and one prototype was built by the Alkett Werke.
But this scheme failed in the tests and was never built in larger [...]

To me the M4A3E8 “Easy Eight” Sherman is the most iconic Allied tank of WWII. It was the last M4 variant deployed during WWII, with upgraded wide track HVSS, a 76mm M1A2 cannon, improved armor and firepower and wet stowed ammunition. [...]
When I was a kid Italeri was one of my favorite model companies. I built one of these when I was 12 or 13 years old. I wanted to revisit this topic so I went out and purchased another one last summer. This is what I ended up with.
I found [...]
This time I would like to upload an AFV work, Wespe in the Italian front. This is the first serious challenge in AFV modelling apart from many ones in my childhood. Because I saw many advancements in AFV modeling technics such as chipping [...]
This is a great kit by Trumpeter and the only soviet armor I've ever done in my 40+ years of modeling. I actually finished it years ago, but it was just green, flat and boring. I came back this week and decided to add a light whitewash [...]
