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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Sd.Kfz. 250/3 “GREIF” - November 18th, 2008

Rommel’s half track   If there is one vehicle that one could be modeling forever, it’s the 250 and it’s variants. This small half track that resulted from a request made in 1939 for a troop transport with an armored body that could carry a half platoon, was produced in a huge number of variants. [...]

T34/76 Factory 112 - November 8th, 2008

The mythical T34 Sometimes a new kit has to be built before all the other kits waiting in the stash. This was the case of the T34/76 Factory 112 Late Production that arrived from my faithful supplier (Blast Models) a couple of weeks ago. It looked so good and it arrived the same day that [...]

Achzarit - May 16th, 2008

IDF Armored Personnel Carrier Some vehicles are mind boggling. It’s some sort of a tradition to find these vehicles in the Israeli Armed Forces. "Things" like the Nagman, Nagmachon etc are so strange and unusual that they may even become likable. The Achzarit is one of them. It is the heaviest armored APC in the [...]
