Porsche off-road vehicles are not an idea that emerged in the 21st century. Actually, in the 1930s, such vehicles appeared, what is even more interesting - using a hybrid drive (however, google the B-Zug Artillery Tractor phrase, and you will see something completely astonishing produced even earlier). At the end of 1939, at the initiative … Continue reading Porsche Model Typ 100 / VK 30.01 (P) | 1:35 Hobby Boss

Type 97 Shinhoto Chi-Ha | Tamiya 1:35
The model is old (literally, molds not much younger than me) but good Tamiya, assembling this simple set is a real pleasure. Sentimental journey - one of the first models after returning to the hobby was the early version of Type 97. I added the Eureka XXL barrel and towing cable, the Vision Models tracks(it … Continue reading Type 97 Shinhoto Chi-Ha | Tamiya 1:35
Typ 1 Chi-He | IBG 1:72
This time a miniature of IBG production: Type 1 Chi-He. The shortcomings of the Type 97 Chi-Ha tanks and the later Shinhoto Chi-Ha (mainly weak armament, problems with engine cooling) were to be addressed in a new model. In 1941, tests began on the prototype of the Type 1 Chi-He tank. It retained the drive, … Continue reading Typ 1 Chi-He | IBG 1:72
In the workshop: 40/43 M ‘Zrinyi’ II 105 mm | Bronco 1:35 Part 5 – paint and weathering
Hi All, Some substantial progress with the Bronco's Zrinyi II - in fact, it is almost completed. Painted with Hataka's Hungarian AFVs colors, Red Series - which caused major problems due to clogging the airbrush and leaving a little grainy finish. Anyway, managed (at least I hope so) to hide these problems with the … Continue reading In the workshop: 40/43 M ‘Zrinyi’ II 105 mm | Bronco 1:35 Part 5 – paint and weathering
Ford Model T 1917 Ambulance | ICM 1:35
When the United States joined the First World War, the Ford Motor Company began (together with the US Surgeon General office and drivers who served on the fronts in France) to design an ambulance based on the mass-produced Model T in 1909, a vehicle adapted to conditions of the battlefield. For this purpose, the Ford … Continue reading Ford Model T 1917 Ambulance | ICM 1:35

The Veterans Day: 1/35th scale Mk. I Male WWI Heavy Battle Tank
Hi, All Honoring Veterans on their Day, have just managed to get the job done last evening. So, here it is. Takom's Mark I makes a good impression right from the first look, basically, it does not require any additions to build into a good replica. However, I was tempted by two changes: the guns … Continue reading The Veterans Day: 1/35th scale Mk. I Male WWI Heavy Battle Tank
In the workshop: 1/35th scale Mk. I Male WWI Heavy Battle Tank from Takom
Hi, All This time something completely different. This will be my second ever WW1 subject, after the 1/48th scale, Eduard's Nieuport Ni-17 finished in Polish post-war markings (unfortunately, accidentally destroyed some time ago). In spite of a large box and a plenty of parts, the build is quite straightforward, quick and easy. Only the sponsons … Continue reading In the workshop: 1/35th scale Mk. I Male WWI Heavy Battle Tank from Takom
n the workshop: Sd. Kfz 161 PzKpfW IV Ausf. D | Tamiya 1:35 – Part 5: finishing
Hi, All How many years this kit is waiting to be finished, hard to tell... three, four? Something around that, but now I can see the light. Some oils & pigments can make miracles to this otherwise boring vehicle model 😉 Hope you like it! Best regards Hubert
In the workshop: Sd. Kfz 161 PzKpfW IV Ausf. D | Tamiya 1:35 – Part 4: painting
Hi, All Finally I was able to start painting the "Four". The colours in AK's set look fine to me, but I will probably have to add some more light, as the next steps will surely darken the finish. The numbers on the turret are from Eduard's set "Small numbers" - but I'm sure these … Continue reading In the workshop: Sd. Kfz 161 PzKpfW IV Ausf. D | Tamiya 1:35 – Part 4: painting
