Tamiya IDF Tiran 5
I'm not an armour builder and it's been over 40yrs since I built any armour, but I thought that I would give this kit a go as a deviation from aircraft.

Tamiya 1/48 Pz.Kpfw. V Panther
These Tamiya 1/48 armor kits are always a pleasure to build. Imagine... everything fits! Only additions are RB & Aber barrels, a few Hauler P-E bits and Fruilmodel tracks (which did add a few days of sore fingers).

1/35 Tamiya Cromwell
The Cromwell came out of the requirement for a replacement for the Crusader which the British High Command knew wasn't going to be enough. Nuffield's A24 design was originally picked as the basis for the Cromwell, but it was powered by [...]
Why Paint That Bull’s Eye Right on Top of the Turret?
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 [...]
