Steps 3-5 This builds all the details on the front of the hull as well as some of the back deck and joins upper and lower hulls. 7385C631-9627-428C-B42E-867C762287A1.jpeg Detail is good but the brush guards for the lights are a bit awkward. They are split into two pieces in the middle and joined wit...

I keep looking at the damaged road wheel, did you grind that down from the plastic part, or scratch build?

Nice Philipp, having the jerry can being filled at the fountain gives context to why he stopped to play with the cat!

The M48 is my favourite Cold War tank, I hope some German variants are in the pipeline. I have some Revell kits, but there's a reason I haven't built them yet :lol: Philipp Sorry Philipp, just saw the above. Takom’s M48 kit is very “modular” so I suspect they will just continue to build on the rang...

The fit is perfect Philipp, I haven’t had to resort to filler yet

The only issue is Takom’s reluctance to use locator pins, the best you get in some places are wee rounded bulges so perfect location requires reference pics and careful study of the manual.

Steps 1-2 I can understand why Takom releases Blitz kits, the average modeler would not appreciate having to clean and assemble the 55 parts it takes to get this…. 6D9E7A78-B2F0-44B7-ADB6-36CA5BD4E99E.jpeg I’m using Tamiya thin glue as the Ammo extra thin (Mig 2025) is a bit hot for the soft Takom p...

I have always been fascinated by the story of the ill fated Sgt York DIVAD project. Based on the M48 hull and mounting twin 40mm Bofors auto cannon, it was designed to keep up with and provide air defense for the Abrams and Bradley formations. To keep costs down it used off the shelf parts such as t...

Still quietly working on this despite the world trying to collapse around me…if it isn’t Covid it’s a natural disaster. NZ needs a break! Finish line is in sight now…

Fizzing a bit about this one. Have always loved the failure that was the M247 “Sgt York”. I built the Tamiya offering as a kid, and was excitied when Takom announced this one. C7E92EC5-0944-4DD7-96DB-1D1D82540D2A.jpeg It’s a big box, stuffed with styrene. All other kits may be on hold for a while…..

This one may have an early exit to the shelf of shame. The tracks for the Ka-Mi have arrived and a project I have been dying to revisit since I was a kid is about to turn up!
