This the second scratch built T-LAV that I built from wood. T-LAV STANDS FOR TRACKED LIGHT ARMOURED VEHICLE. This model is roughly 10.5 inches in length. it’s got the 1 m turret, which is the standard for this armoured vehicle. This [...]
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 [...]

Model 3 of 4 for 2021! I'd have done more, but gestures widely life gets in the way.
