Char B1 Bis 1/35 Tamiya

by Dennis Meyers on February 27, 2023 · in Armor · 10 ≡

Started off 2023 with ambitions to build some dios and more substantial displays. I began with a real jewel from my stash -- Tamiya's 1/35 Char B1 Bis. As expected with Tamiya kits,this is a real beauty. A flawless kit of a very unique [...]

Why Paint That Bull’s Eye Right on Top of the Turret?

by Scott Nelson on May 6, 2021 · in Armor · 14 ≡

Maybe the French thought they would have air supremacy. Anyway, I finally finished up my 1/35 Somua S35 from Tamiya after having some bad luck with the camouflage on the turret. My original black outlines ran like mascara in the rain when [...]

Tamiya AMX-13, French army

by Jay Biga on February 26, 2021 · in Armor · 6 ≡

Hi all, This one is almost done. Quick and easy build of the Tamiya AMX-13 kit, which is what you'd expect from recent Tamiya kits. For some reason this model got built, primered, and then sat in my "to finish pile" fort a few [...]

Zvezda Yak-3s

by Wes Pennest on January 26, 2021 · in Aviation · 14 ≡

Pain-free. Go slow, enjoy the build and mind the gunsight glass so the carpet monster doesn't eat it. The blue decal for the spinner is poorly sized and if you use it, the decal won't conform no matter what decal setting solution you use. [...]

Strafing (Hanriot 232/2 diorama)

by caudelguille on April 18, 2020 · in Diorama · 18 ≡

Hello to everyone! I finally decided to strafe my french Hanriot H232/2 kit from AZUR (not an easy one, I warn you). From the 35 aircrafts produced only 20 survived the german attack over France, so I guessed some of them might be strafed [...]

Azur 1/72 V-156 F Vindicator

by Greg Kittinger on December 13, 2019 · in Aviation · 16 ≡

I bought this kit for $10 at a contest, after calling a friend to ask if he could vac-form new canopies, as those in the kit were yellow as burnt wheat! The kit was a mix - it has nicely engraved panel lines, some nice resin additions [...]

M3A3 French Army

by Peter Ibes on September 12, 2019 · in Armor · 7 ≡

My first armour post on I-Modeller; the 1:72 M3A3 Stuart from S-Model, using Braille-Scale decals for a vehicle from the French army that landed in Southern France in August 1944. The S-Model kit is actually a quick-build kit, albeit a [...]
