Meng 1/35 AMX30B

by Wes Pennest on March 13, 2015 · in Armor · 20 ≡

The AMX30B is an odd duck. Contemporary tank designs favored increasing armor thickness and radical sloping to defeat anti-armor shells of increasing caliber, but the AMX design has almost no armor to speak of-- offering sufficient [...]

Hurricane Mk.IIc (Smer/Heller 1/72)

by Dmitry Stropalov on March 11, 2015 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This model is my tribute to the good old times of modeling. This kit is from 70s - originally Heller and now it's produced by Smer with some additions (decals and PE parts). Quality is still good but detail level is totally outdated, so I [...]

Lo-lux

by Rob Pollock on March 11, 2015 · in Armor · 26 ≡
