This was the project that came out of nowhere. I’ve never intended to do something like this, it wasn’t plane which would took my attention. Fortunately I received an offer from my friend to obtain this Hasegawa’s Hs129B2. This is [...]

Eduard's excellent 1/48 Mig 21 and the almost endless color schemes of operational aircraft was a big incentive for me to keep building this model. The Egyptian Air Force had also a variety of schemes. I avoided the pink scheme because the [...]

by Ian Foulkes on October 11, 2022 · in Armor · 5 ≡

Well, at long last I've been able to do a small amount of modelling. This is the turret from my Meng Leopard C2 Mexas. It's got the thermal clad turret, which is a replacement one. I can't remember which manufacturer, but I do know it [...]
