For the paint I used Vallejo's Olive Drab, darkening and lightening it to give highlights and [...]
HobbyBoss 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.D Tauchpanzer
My next build was my first HobbyBoss (Tristar rebox) kit. A Panzer IV Ausf.D Tauchpanzer, literally “diving tank”.
A number of Panzer IIIs & Panzer IVs were converted into submersible tanks for the planned invasion of England [...]
Trumpeter 1/35 Morser Karl Gerat 040/41
Eva was the second self-propelled 60 cm siege mortar produced and saw action in the Eastern Front.
Trumpeter's Karl is a highly detailed model that builds into a menacing looking mortar once completed. The parts number is high but, the [...]
Trumpeter 1/35 T-62 model 1960
In the aftermath of the Battle of the Valley of Tears abandoned Syrian T-62 filled the battleground. I chose two schemes of the Syrian army serving at the same front with contrasting camouflage schemes.
The venerable Trumpeter T-62 model [...]
RFM 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.J
After the Czech tanks, the time had come to build a Panzer III. I went for the new Ryefield Model Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.J (2020 tool). A very cleanly molded & detailed kit with workable tracks and suspension. I chose to build as a fixed [...]

Bronco 1/35 Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.D
Since returning to this hobby in 2020, I decided to focus on WW2 armour in 1/35. My first purchase happened to be this Bronco Pz.II Ausf.D and a HobbyBoss Pz.I Ausf.A. I was thinking of building some german tanks in a somewhat [...]
Tamiya 1/35 T-34/76 Model 1943
I bought & started this kit in the early '90's. I put it away and stopped building because of other things in life. Fast forward to 2020 and my interest in scale modelling is revived. I acquired new tools & supplies.. most [...]
Meng 1/35 M911 C-HET
A highly detailed and a well-engineered model. I added Tamiya's M1A1 Abrams on top of the trailer.
Two major drawbacks of the Meng kit; rubber tires that after a year had big cracks. Thanks to the large number of tires, I swooped them [...]
