HIMARS 1/35 scale by Trumpeter

by Rick Schad on February 16, 2024 · in Armor · 8 ≡

What a pain in the butt this kit was! Trumpeter 1/35 scale HIMARS with a whopping 750 parts! Great molding and detail, typical crappy Trumpeter instructions. Get ready for tons of tiny parts, many that will leave you scratching your [...]

1/35 Border Models Leopard 2a6, "somewhere" in Eastern Europe

by Wes Pennest on May 31, 2023 · in Armor · 11 ≡

I will eschew my usual word salad at this point and refer you to the leopardclub.ca examinations of this kit and the history of the real thing. It's commonly accepted that 2a6s are in Ukraine now, though I haven't seen any photographic [...]

by Anthony Ricco on January 17, 2023 · in Armor · 12 ≡

My first foray into the armour world, I decided to go small, this 1/72 Panzerfunkwagen, was my experiment. And guess what, I enjoyed it. had a lot of fun on this build, not the most amazing kit, detail lacks a bit but it was a nice little [...]

by Robert LaPorta on January 16, 2023 · in Armor · 7 ≡

A few years back I decided to construct a Diorama of a German 88 at the battle of the Kasserine pass. I had a Tamyia German Flack 88 North African campaign kit. The barrel was warped so I get a replacement metal barrel from Abner which was [...]

Classic Kit: Matchbox 1/76 Jadgpanther Tweaked Just a Bit

by David Garcia on March 7, 2022 · in Armor · 21 ≡

I really like Matchbox 1/76 armor (armour) kits. The kits were made by a different hand because they do not exhibit the heavy engraving of their aircraft kits. This is my second attempt at building this kit. I used pastels to dust it up [...]

1/35 RFM Challenger II TES "Megatron"

by Wes Pennest on December 30, 2021 · in Armor · 6 ≡

4 of 4 for 2021! The Challenger II is one of, if not the best protected MBTs in service today, with heavily sloped composite armor throughout. This is fine for conventional warfare where your tank can hull down with only its turret [...]

Amusing Hobby 1/35 FV 214 "Conqueror" Mk 2

by Wes Pennest on December 27, 2021 · in Armor · 3 ≡

Model 3 of 4 for 2021! I'd have done more, but gestures widely life gets in the way. The Conqueror was the last British heavy tank, armed with a massive 120mm rifled cannon and was intended to knock out Soviet IS-3s and T-10Ms flooding [...]
