Hi All, I'd like to present the BT-7, model 1935, the Battle of Moscow, 1st Guards Tank Brigade (according to manufacturer). What can I say about the model?

The machine, however, in its own way interesting and different, in … Continue reading BT-7 Light tank, model 1935 | Zvezda 1:35

N.A. P-51 D Mustang, 1:48 Tamiya, pt. 4
Hi All, Going slowly forward - now my Mustang is looking a bit more like an aircraft. After glueing the fuselage and wings together, it is clear that some additional filing and sanding will be required - I think that the resin inserts have infuenced the fit of the parts a bit. Stay tuned Hubert
