margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">The
war in Ukraine started in 2014 and lasts until today. The parties of the
conflict are Ukrainians opposite pro-Russians separatists unofficial supported
by Russian army. When the idea of building some BTR appeared I was struggling
what final appearance it should have. First I decided to prepared it as the
Ukrainian but because I built couple months before BTR-80 I decided to make
this one in Novorussian finish. I was sure to add some reshetkas on the sides
and front and a lot of additional stuff which is common in the pictures of
BTR's from war in Donbass. So here I collected different ideas from pictures I
have and I put them on my model.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face=""Arial","sans-serif"">By
the way the hundreds of pictures loaded in the internet where those vehicles
are shown are like the chest with treasures. A lot of field modifications and
weathering options can be used as the ideas for models we are building
nowadays. It can be said that each vehicle has his own battle story and can be
replicated in our favourite scale. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">When
we open the box our eyes can see the standard Trumpeter's quality. The producer
provided also the interior parts but this is obvious that this part of work
will not be visible in standard exhibition. During the building stages there
were no problems with fitting of the parts. When we are looking at the parts it
can be said that all of them are sufficient to build correct model. But if you
are looking for more sophisticated solutions you can change this or that. I had
the option to change the wheels for resin set and add some scratchbuilt parts.
I also replace the gun barrel and antenna rod for metal ones.</span></p>

Puma because of some kind of sentiment - it was one of my first plastic kits I
built. Now was the time to do it again but with proper experience and good idea
which needed to be realize. So here I wanted to present the vehicle operated in
France during the summer of 1944. I had two good-looking figures and set of
photo etched foliage which bring the kit to be similar to the real vehicles we
can see on the war propaganda movies. The diversity of the aftermarket products
allowed me to create quite correct miniature but the most important was to
build nice eyecatcher!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

name of this vehicle but it was chan</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">ged for Husky. The full name designation is
Vehicle Mounted Mine Detector (VMMD). It is a wheeled landmine detection and
route clearance system produced by DCD Protected Mobility. In the 1970s the
original developed destination was the South African Army – Husky I was the
original and Husky II and III are upgraded versions of the basic variant. The
latest VMMD variant, Husky 2G, is a two-seat vehicle accommodating a driver and
a sensor operator.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The vehicle has a
length of 7.34m, width of 2.53m, and an overall height of 3.54m. The operating
weight is 8,350kg. The VMMD’s engine is capable of generating a maximum power
of 201hp and move the vehicle at a maximum speed of 72km/h and can reach a
speed of 50km/h in just 16 seconds. The vehicle has a maximum range of 400km,
and a range of 200km when attached with Mine Detonation Trailer.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilvTG2c5K0QizC1UHnfB_YKJUq_lSESGYgPiaYvzkmWZfi2B2fknnrBzEvlqj93X7fiAYCHndbsUUONMQcaKDlk94BtH5xEeg7GHv5M5Iywg_IfHhgT_j-hByuz6bIRbpfRiLQzLVfn5I/s1000/Husky_2G.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="703" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilvTG2c5K0QizC1UHnfB_YKJUq_lSESGYgPiaYvzkmWZfi2B2fknnrBzEvlqj93X7fiAYCHndbsUUONMQcaKDlk94BtH5xEeg7GHv5M5Iywg_IfHhgT_j-hByuz6bIRbpfRiLQzLVfn5I/s320/Husky_2G.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Husky VMMD
incorporates a V-shaped hull offering optimum protection against blasts - the
vehicle is designed to withstand high detonation and can be brought to
operating conditions within two hours after an explosion. The cabin is fitted
with a bullet-proof glass window and a single hatch is provided on the top.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Husky VMMD is
capable of detecting both metal and non-metal buried explosives (landmines and
improvised explosive devices IEDs) but can also be customised to detect
user-defined threats. This vehicle can clear a path of three meters at a
maximum speed of 50km/h. It can run over pressure-fused anti-vehicle landmines
without exploding them. The height of the sensor installed on the Husky can be
controlled automatically to adjust in various terrains. The Husky is also
attached with the MDT set to detonate any left out mines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The vehicle can be also
equipped with NIITEK's VISOR™ 2500 Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), with four
panelled 3.2m array at the front. The GPR detects the mines and explosives by
using hydraulically-controlled deploy and retract modes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The international
marketing and field support of the vehicle is provided by Critical Solutions
International who are also responsible for marketing in US. The Husky VMMD
vehicles are operational within a number of countries across the globe. A lot
of them are served in Afghanistan as a part of US Army units.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

was not in my particular plans for builds ever but the friend of mine asked me
to build this one as a part of some big project he is involved to. After fast
googling I decided to take this job and start wtih this kit as soon as possible
which means that it needed to wait about 2 month for its turn. In first glance
I stated it was the ugliest military kit/vehicle I have ever seen but after
days of building flown I started to like this monster. With perfect Tankograd
monography book with super pictures the building was easier. But to be honest, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>not all of the details were clearly shown. I
did my best to make them but this is still a mystery if I did it correct. I had
free hand in finishing and adding some equipment so it was my favourite way of
building models – total artistic freedom!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIwD1M7m35krstDx4Yqc-f-FSmekDXuQf7a8gdfpjC5sWCabq7gE19qmrcl3gUFaLxT58AEX9HqFRazwuYYY6jzrlf7ZelEg4QDceUJDy_7HWl3I_y5iKSmjFtKfiZ-tjCYa0Hi9j7NU/s6016/DSC_5644.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIwD1M7m35krstDx4Yqc-f-FSmekDXuQf7a8gdfpjC5sWCabq7gE19qmrcl3gUFaLxT58AEX9HqFRazwuYYY6jzrlf7ZelEg4QDceUJDy_7HWl3I_y5iKSmjFtKfiZ-tjCYa0Hi9j7NU/s320/DSC_5644.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjShUYQ3CnurSVyDJhqu8SaLzbWBDLPtMkLqXDwT_Od12h_xUSmpFw8DDOfVoy4mhqgV4bH9yLZL8FUgrZKdX3E07-C3XCRnYau16k-AXl8iupWnU7Ff568-r3IoP8BUhZR2OQeiaI3_tk/s6016/DSC_5646.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjShUYQ3CnurSVyDJhqu8SaLzbWBDLPtMkLqXDwT_Od12h_xUSmpFw8DDOfVoy4mhqgV4bH9yLZL8FUgrZKdX3E07-C3XCRnYau16k-AXl8iupWnU7Ff568-r3IoP8BUhZR2OQeiaI3_tk/s320/DSC_5646.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOPsHfCu_FhH5vTbRjGjDkIcOXZ6pYGXL6eDGlZCUhDcp71prQN-o_lfYT-sqyu1VAvg-cMFAb4MXophIpVHXt8INAM2TlRczE7uSy8_2D18-fDjvRrS3mAUH0XbFKESUvyoAe-Q7MNZI/s6016/DSC_5655.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOPsHfCu_FhH5vTbRjGjDkIcOXZ6pYGXL6eDGlZCUhDcp71prQN-o_lfYT-sqyu1VAvg-cMFAb4MXophIpVHXt8INAM2TlRczE7uSy8_2D18-fDjvRrS3mAUH0XbFKESUvyoAe-Q7MNZI/s320/DSC_5655.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic0oebjr-tvaS4s1ECK-zRl-jLaGcs5J-4j2sBWTHBSFO94Gm3AHEiOS5mzA9-QAQQ_T51_Chxu9gG5GhfSgsXjTecXMNuTmwQ25ZALMOuUS6IyPilwb6nkgDKXjdhQcg2rXyNdn_wCNA/s6016/DSC_5659.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6016" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic0oebjr-tvaS4s1ECK-zRl-jLaGcs5J-4j2sBWTHBSFO94Gm3AHEiOS5mzA9-QAQQ_T51_Chxu9gG5GhfSgsXjTecXMNuTmwQ25ZALMOuUS6IyPilwb6nkgDKXjdhQcg2rXyNdn_wCNA/s320/DSC_5659.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span><p></p>Lukashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00188638395870580126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134634843998207221.post-19892614836843355932020-08-05T23:33:00.002-07:002020-08-05T23:33:41.287-07:00PLL-05 Mobile Pipe<br /><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiIABHYyHhUFNALrwl11zIoibpBdXzgbcnZ9Ol28vTOqaziaiWJ97gXrFNJvFjtvyt6WlZealjqOzPjzDUZo7LMrSIBMYM5XRfE_smR28mGZOOaqY1-aaBM7wvwXPomzDNwbpaieWlfq4/s1024/pll1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="697" data-original-width="1024" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiIABHYyHhUFNALrwl11zIoibpBdXzgbcnZ9Ol28vTOqaziaiWJ97gXrFNJvFjtvyt6WlZealjqOzPjzDUZo7LMrSIBMYM5XRfE_smR28mGZOOaqY1-aaBM7wvwXPomzDNwbpaieWlfq4/w320-h218/pll1.JPG" width="320" /></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After I opened the box I was quite surprised that the

being around 8-10 rounds per minute. The vehicle carried 36 rounds (indirect
fire mortar bombs and direct fire anti-tank rounds) with 9km of standard range.
The secondary armament is a QJC-88 12.7×108mm heavy machine gun (Chinese Dshk
version) mounted on the turret roof. The crew consists of the commander,
gunner, loader and driver.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzA6mby8USNySZZYyvSVkbX-SzxDBDlz7x_wG49DismROZI6VowmhBfL4LHB1UNjCSE5t3LoQiEuAAp1gQZ9ltUe8Gfk7dRpavXSwXRhWmipKzZ9Jmnen1Zlp7gqi5UZLLFsCnDxLJUJM/s1024/pll6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="display: inline !important; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="1024" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzA6mby8USNySZZYyvSVkbX-SzxDBDlz7x_wG49DismROZI6VowmhBfL4LHB1UNjCSE5t3LoQiEuAAp1gQZ9ltUe8Gfk7dRpavXSwXRhWmipKzZ9Jmnen1Zlp7gqi5UZLLFsCnDxLJUJM/w256-h170/pll6.JPG" width="256" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivP2wonNN4RWeUKLxffELKl2cVI8oTBMtcDCVK9YeRKLJGMd1vDge8M1Sm1zpBzrPPHKMBs7m8oHh-CZ5fZQ5wIOQ2pnx6WocVvmm3Pfs75Uif6d-JYVeW51dpUQnE9Z6pRzao_3DX398/s1024/pll5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="672" data-original-width="1024" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivP2wonNN4RWeUKLxffELKl2cVI8oTBMtcDCVK9YeRKLJGMd1vDge8M1Sm1zpBzrPPHKMBs7m8oHh-CZ5fZQ5wIOQ2pnx6WocVvmm3Pfs75Uif6d-JYVeW51dpUQnE9Z6pRzao_3DX398/w256-h168/pll5.JPG" width="256" /></a></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> You can see the full article in Chinese Power book.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfhyphenhyphennpNJXO4TeHo7TQ6U9ExSlkpvHGPnUG0I5oz7iPTr07Yma0GYfPW3fJBeDr7vH7XvBGHiRJu_UP5WfeMbv7iz2piuOje6xfKXQ1bjVLcuM5hWj5l4s9RjUqDUbGV9-QyA5f5ay9a7k/s850/2ede1e3bdfb30c363841a5baaa0e702b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="850" data-original-width="850" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfhyphenhyphennpNJXO4TeHo7TQ6U9ExSlkpvHGPnUG0I5oz7iPTr07Yma0GYfPW3fJBeDr7vH7XvBGHiRJu_UP5WfeMbv7iz2piuOje6xfKXQ1bjVLcuM5hWj5l4s9RjUqDUbGV9-QyA5f5ay9a7k/w262-h262/2ede1e3bdfb30c363841a5baaa0e702b.jpg" width="262" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div>Lukashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00188638395870580126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134634843998207221.post-78363270878078941282020-07-05T07:55:00.001-07:002020-07-05T07:59:59.494-07:00Cromwell - Winged hussar, 1st Polish Armoured Division Black Devils<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The Polish 1st Armored Division was the most famous Polish unit in all Second World War history. It was created in February 1942 at Duns in Scotland under Major General Stanisław Maczek command. The division started its battle route in the Normandy and finished in Wilhelmshaven. Mainly they were fighting as part of the First Canadian Army. Until 1947 they were located in north-west Germany and in June the division was disformed.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In last months I focused on modern subject but after some gaming in World of Tanks where I have Cromwell in my garage, I turned my eyes for this vehicle in 1/35 scale. It was obvious for me that the model must represent some Polish vehicle but I needed the unique idea to execute. I decided to create very dynamic scene with speeding tank and some German troops escaping from the road.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The history of Cromwell is well know so here I will focus on the building stage mostly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">There is no other possibility than just buy Tamiya's kit. So I did. To enriched it I completed some aftermarket parts:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- Friulmodel tracks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- Eureka XXL towing cables</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- PanzerArt spare wheels</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">- RB Model gun barrels and antenna mounts</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Some scratch build parts needed to be added if we want to bring the kit to the higher level. They were mostly from my old PE sets, furthermore some wires were used to replace the plastic handles but I also added dozens of plastic bolts on the kit and to the tacks. It was quite frustrating and time-consuming but with RP Toolz Punch and Die set the work was much easier than it could be expected.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Next, starting the painting I took my Tamiya's paints and using the instruction from the kit I prepare the mix in proportion given by the producer. As always in my models the base color was highlighted by adding couple drops of yellow to the base shade. Small elements were enlightened also but for this purpose I used fine brush. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The markings were done with stencils and with some standard decals given in the box. In addition I had some special stickers for Polish version of Cromwell (thank you Tomasz!). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The weathering stage was done quickly with chemicals provided by Wilder. The washes and filters created a lot of diversity in all panels of the kit but I decided to build more colors with oil paints. Using them I also prepared some dirt and filth stains. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The chipping work was done with standard technique basing on the sponge and 3/0 brush. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The final pigmentation I did also with Wilder's products with final touches of 502 Abteilung oil paints.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In the end I prepared the Hessian net with a piece of bandage, sheet of yellow note paper and super glue.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">The Syrian civil war
that is happening at the moment is, next to the Ukrainian war, the most
recognizable conflict we can see day by day in the news. So it is also the
inspirational for all modellers who build modern vehicles to show their models
in scenery seen in the pictures from this region.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">When I was asked to
build some urban looking vehicle I intended to set it in the Syria. I had
Trumpeter’s new ZSU-57-2 on my shelf so I started to look for the pictures of
this vehicle. Truly speaking it was really hard to find good pictures and
existed ones are mostly useless for my project. I found only couple shots taken
in discussed region; there are also some good walkarounds. So based on those I
needed to start my creative powers and complete this project with stuff I had
in my boxes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">The main idea was to
show the ZSU as a main subject with company of 3 or 4 figures. For the
background I wanted to use Macone Models resin and plaster products – different
types of walls with metal doors and asphalt section. The highest point was some
pole with telephone wires which is typical and often seen in the pictures the
same as satelite antennas. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is not so popular as the rest
of German military vehicles; even among the so called ”paper panzers” it is far
away the spearhead. When the kit was released I did not even check the review
because of the subject which suppose quite boring for me. The time flew and I
did not bother of this one. Out of the blue my friend asked me to build this
vehicle for his collection with free hand in finish appearance.</div>

Well, in my standard procedure
before the parte were cut from the sprues I started to look for ideas and
interesting camo scheme. Quite fast I met the pics of Adam Wilder’s superb Bär
which was my inspiration, especially for the building but also for the painting
stages. But the most important was to find some interesting colors for this
project. All of the painting charts I saw in the books and in the internet were
unsatisfactory. I felt that they were not suitable for my project. Then I found
my E-75 kit from 2015 where I painted all sections in different colors and
finish. That was it!</div>

The idea was to create the
vehicle which was taken to the service right after it was fully movable and
armed. This is why I left the tools and small elements in the spare box. In the
matter of colors I wanted to build multicolored model with factory unfinished
surfaces and some freshly painted yellow camo. The steel areas were planned to
be painted in different manner to simulate two conditions: storage
circumstances (rust) and various sources of origin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As the additional elements I
planed to add Wilder’s dry stencils and Verlinden’s German wall slogans.</div>

When I was thinking about the
storage and checking different elements I realized that there is no space on
the superstructure to add any. The towing cables and wire tied to the hooks
would be enough this time. The tarpaulin on the roof was the only super
addition.</div>

the roads and to 40 km/h cross-country it needs 1500 hp water-cooled engine.
The three members of the crew operate this steel beast - commander and gunner
sit in the turret when the driver in the front and centre of the hull. They use
125mm stabilized cannon as the main armament which is loaded with autoloader
and can detect, identify and locate the target at up to 5 km. The standard
anti-aircraft 12,7mm gun is located on the turret. It has also 7,62mm coaxial
machine gun. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is similar to T-72. The front the same as the turret is covered with additional
modular armour plating which can be replaced shortly in case of damage. The
crew is equipped with NBC solutions the same as anti-incendiary system. The
vehicle has smoke grenade launching system as well as laser facilities
necessary on the modern battlefield.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I was impressed after the box was
opened because in comparison to the previous kits from this producer, this one
is the best. The sandy colored plastic sprues consist detailed suspension,
track links, nicely detailed hull with stowage boxes, photo-etched grilles on
the engine deck and rear exhaust, rear-mounted fuel containers, armor blocks on
hull glacis plate, detailed turret with armor blocks and main gun with thermal
sleeve. There is also clear sprue with lights and glasses for electronic
devices. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Just a notice about the
three-piece track links - first I thought they will be a nightmare but it should
be said that the designers made their job perfectly. With the special tool provided
with the kit we can build them really fast and the fitting is extremely good.
The only thing I would like to have is a choice to have steel set and the one
with rubber pads. As I noticed in the pictures the steel tracks are used in the
field mainly but there are exceptions and the rubber boots are seen there too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The decals sheet provide stars
and numbers for the parade unit. You can use them for no risk if you build this
version of the kit but If you would like to create the tank in the maneuvers it
will be better to find bigger stars and some letters. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The only camouflage which is
correct for this tank is shown on the color plate added to the kit - so you
need to pixelize of you kit.</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">When the kit arrived
I was wondering what to do with it and how to show it in interesting way. I was
sure that "parade option" is not for me and it needed something more
realistic and dusted than polished and shiny toys. So my idea was to put it on
light slope and simulate the working chassis. I needed to remember about this
during the building stage. This is why the kit does not leveled and the tracks
look quite strange without the terrain.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Challenger 2 is equipped with a 120-millimetre 55-calibre long L30A1 tank gun, the successor to the L11 gun used on the Chieftain and Challenger 1. Unique among NATO main battle tank armament, the L30A1 is rifled, because the British Army continues to place a premium on the use of High-explosive squash head (HESH) rounds in addition to armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding-sabot rounds. The Challenger 2 is also armed with a 7.62 mm chain gun and a 7.62 mm machine gun. Fifty eight main armament rounds and 4,200 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition are carried.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I remember I always
like the look of Challenger 2, espesially in desert version with the long
rubber curains on the sides. The make the vehicle so massive and impressive so
I decided to build this one someday. Fortunately friend of mine wanted to sell
his kit for very good price. It was almost ready and needs only some small
portion of work. I bought it and started to finish as soon as it arrived my
home.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The kit is the
standard quality of Tamiya. This is the
words which explains everything for each modeller who though once build their
kit. The sand coloured plastic along with clear parts are enough to make you
smile after the box is open. The vinyl tracks are also good. To complete the list
I need to mention about the poly caps, some nylon cord, coper wire, plastic
card, a pair of nuts and bolts for idler arms and a sheet of decals with
options for 3 vehicles seen during Telic operation. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to achieve was the dusted vehicle with some additional stuff but not to much
because it was really hard to attach the crew’s stuff on the flat surfaces of
the tank. Before I started to paint the kit I collected some basic stuff I wish
to compose on the model. To add some markings I have the sheet from the kit and
some additional decals from Bison Models which were also helpful because I
decided to mix them and breake the one shade of the vehicle with colorful
additions. I also wanted to present the kit on some simple base -</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;">just black plastic top and wooden (balsa)
frame with the pictures and some name. I added the Union Jack sticker too.</span> </span></div>

possibility to make so changes. First I replace the vinyl tracks for the
separate links from Bronco (AB 3523). Next I used couple parts from Voyager’s
PE set (one of their first – the quality was far away from current products
they offer), some Eureka XXL metal ropes (the endings were taken from the kit)
and resin tarpaulins. The rest of the elements were scratch build – I based on
the references pictures I managed to find in the internet.</span></div>

The
story of T-72 was told thousand times and the plenty of books were written by
the specialists. Also hundreds of
internet pages describe this vehicle. So, why is it so popular? Because of the
technical ability, firepower or maybe
its combat history? I do not think so! In my opinion the answer is quite easy -
because of its amount. Almost 20,000 units were produced so far. The T-72 was
exported widely and saw service in 40 countries. Some improved variants are
still being built for export customers.<o:p></o:p><br />

was one of the ugliest model I ever built. But truly speaking because of its
ugliness it is very interesting and I can say that it is typical eye catcher!
The kit itself is far from current standards and additional work is necessary
but it was worth to spend so much time searching for good references pictures
and building details which were omitted by the producer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was a bit disappointed after the box was open… I was reading a lot of reviews
where the authors clap their hands a lot but probably they did not look
carefully on the parts. I am not saying the kit is bad but here and there a
level of the parts’ finishing is under current limits. Some of the parts need a
lot of patience and work to look properly but in result it is possible to make a
good-looking model. All in all, for this price the producers should be more
accurate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the quality of the RG-31’s parts this kit is a perfect addition to each modern
MRAP’s collection. It is one of the smallest vehicle in this family but it is
typical “must have” kit. With no doubt it is an unique subject moreover no
other RG-31 is available as an plastic kit. Hopefully there will be more interesting
color schemes and markings because of its growing usage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Entwicklung series, more commonly known as the E-series, was a late-World War II attempt by Germany to produce a standardized series of tank designs. There were to be standard designs in six different weight classes, from which several specialized variants were to be developed. This intended to reverse the trend of extremely complex tank designs that had resulted in poor production rates and mechanical unreliability.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The E-series designs were simpler, cheaper to produce and more efficient than their predecessors; however, their design offered only modest improvements in armour and firepower over the designs they were intended to replace, such as the Jagdpanzer 38(t), Panther Ausf.G or Tiger II; and would have represented the final standardization of German armored vehicle design. Indeed, nearly all of the E-series vehicles — up through and including the E-75 — were intended to use what were essentially the Tiger II's eighty centimeter diameter, steel-rimmed road wheels for their suspension, meant to overlap each other (as on the later production Tiger I-E and Panther designs that also used them).</span></div>

The E-75 would have been built on the same production lines as the E-50 for ease of manufacture, and the two vehicles were to share many components, including the same Maybach HL 234 engine. As its name indicates, the resulting vehicle would have weighed in at over 75 tonnes, reducing its speed to around 40 km/h. To offset the increased weight, the bogies were spaced differently from on the E-50, with an extra pair added on each side, giving the E-75 a slightly improved track to ground contact length.</span></div>

German scientists and engineers had successfully designed a Schmalturm, narrow-front turret and infra-red lighting and sights for use on the prototypes of the Panther Ausf. F as the war drew to a close.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The original complex suspension by torsion bars was simplified with bogies. The standard Tiger II turret was equipped with 8.8cm KwK 44 L71 gun. The engine was an improved, fuel-injected Maybach HL234 which had 900 hp. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My aim was to create something different than next red primed "E" kit which is the most popular painting in the kits from this series. I was looking for inspiration in the internet and components of the project. I did not want to copy Adam Wilder's E-50 painting (one of the best I have ever seen) or even Geschuzwagen Tiger but the best solution for my kit seems to be dual colors painting - steel plates with rust traces connected with red primed turret. The vehicle would be out of the production line, without the tools only with towing cables and some spare track links as the additional armor on the turret and back of the main body. </span></div>
