Tamiya 135th 20mm Flakvierling 38 Mit Sd.Ah.52 Step By Step Full Build

So I have picked up a few models based Flakvierling including the Flakvierling sd.kfz. 7 1 and the Möbelwagen. So I’m starting off with the basic model. Out the box, it looks to be quite a nice little build. There are a few flash lines but overall a nice casting.

Airfix 172nd Supermarine Spitfire MK1A Step By Step Full Build

I was out with The Sam at a local Kent festival, after we left she wanted to go to a vegan cake shop so I got dragged along. It just so happened that opposite the bakery was a model shop. So as you do, I popped in for a look. To be honest I didn’t really need anything but I like to support local model shops whenever I can. So I found this little 1/72nd scale Supermarine Spitfire MK.1a. Now I haven’t picked up an Airfix model in over 20 years so this should be a fun little project.

Hobby Boss 135th GCT 155mm AU-F1 SPH Based on T-72 Step By Step Full Build

Quite an interesting model. So this is the French GCT 155mm auf1 SPH but the unique thing is that it’s not on the standard amx hull, instead it sits on top of a T-72 Hull. This variation appears to only appear at an arms fair where they were trying to sell this variation to the Indian army. Can’t find too many pictures, also there are no decal markings as it is only a display model.

Tamiya 135th German Flakpanzer IV Mobelwagen Step By Step Full Build

As I continue with my series of 2cm Flakerving anti-aircraft guns, I’m going to get on with this prototype version of the Möbelwagen that uses the 2 cm Flakvierling. During 1942 in the North Africa conflict, the German found how exposed they were to aircraft attacks on their armour. The solution was to mount an anti-aircraft gun on the hulls of a Panzer IV tanks that had been returned to the factories for battle damage repairs. In production, the Flakpanzer IV Mobelwagen used the 3.7 flak 43. The only one built with the 2cm flak was a prototype for Adolf Hitler.

Tamiya 135th M41 Walker Bulldog Step By Step Full Build

The M41 US Tank Walker Bulldog model by Tamiya. This scale model tank is a departure for me. This will be the first piece of Vietnam era Armour that I’m turning my hand to. Quite a cheap little kit but should provide some nice painting and weathering practice.
