Autoblindo 43 (41/43) - July 29th, 2010
I have this kit in my stash for a couple of years. I always wanted to build it but the camo scheme that was used by the Germans was making me avoiding it. I really wanted to make a sand color model. But I faced a "small" problem. The AB43 only entered service with the [...]
Dingo Mk Ib - July 9th, 2010
Resuming… After a fairly long hiatus (6 months) I decided it was time to go back to the bench. Instead of continuing with the builds I have resting there I decided to do something new. If I'm restarting I can't do it with something that already began. It has to be new out of the [...]
M4 High Speed Tractor - December 22nd, 2009
Pulling power The first time I saw a model of this vehicle on a magazine the first thing I looked for was the manufacturer. It was a resin kit from Masters Productions and had a very respectable price tag. I forgot about it. With that kind of money I could buy 3 or 4 decent [...]
Churchill Mk.III - October 9th, 2009
Not the best looking tank in the world… After a few months without touching models, I decided to restart. Instead of finalizing the models I have almost ready (and this seems to happen to all of us) I wanted to do something from scratch. I opened the box of a Dingo Mk IB from Miniart only to discover [...]
Sherman Mark Vc Firefly - May 23rd, 2009
Olive Green at will I’m going to do my first Sherman. And what better choice than a Tasca kit? I bought this kit a while back and I had it in my hands many times but somehow there were always other build that got in front. This time is for real. I have all the bits and pieces [...]
Entwicklungsfahrzeug E-10 - April 17th, 2009
"A paper panzer" The first time I saw a picture of this tank I fell in love with the incredibly modern design and pure lines. Then, some time later on a magazine there was a beautiful build of one and this made me want one even more. But is was a resin model (by Accurate [...]
Carro Armato Fiat L6/40 - March 29th, 2009
Italeri relaunched the Fiat Ansaldo L6/40 in a limited Edition kit. The most noticeable change is the addition of link and length tracks (something that the M13/40 should have) and the booklet with pictures and history of the tank. An interior is provided and a small etched brass fret complete this very nice kit.
Humber Scout Car MK.I - March 7th, 2009
Ugly or not… that’s the question With the Daimler Dingo, the Humber Scout Car was one of the most popular reconnaissance vehicles of WWII. It’s not exactly a nice looking vehicle but after a while it kind of grows on you. When it started to take shape I looked at it with different eyes. I can [...]
Pz. Kpfw. III Ausf L - January 16th, 2009
Gemany's medium tank I bought this kit a while ago and now it's time to build it. I've yet to build one model based on this chassis, in spite of having several of them, from the Stug III B, G to a couple of versions of the Pz III. It's a much more elegant chassis than [...]
King Tiger… at 1/16 scale - January 5th, 2009
That’s a big cat !!! Today the box arrived. And what a BOX!!! This thing is HUGE. It is so big that I really don’t know how I’m going to make an excuse for having it at home taking up space. At first glance the kit is amazing. The wheels, sprockets Idler are the size of [...]
