BRDM - 2 published!

Couple days ago I received the latest issue of AFV Modeller with my article about BRDM.  So here are the sample pages.

T-90 again...

... but this time in Czech Modelar.

Puma 4x4 in Italian Service (UN)

My next kit. So sporty!

I built it from Trumpeter set with metal Rb Model antennas.
It was awarded in Bytom Model Festival in "Euro Cups" category.

The stowage was composed from different products. I would like to show the vehicle in UN service but not in overall white finish.

As a reference I used this picture:

I know it is the 6 wheeled version but the most important was the way the car was painted - NATO tri-toned camo with white square for UN markings. So here is my vision of it.

Next publications

Some new publications during last weeks appeared in various modelling magazines. Here they are.

First the French SteelMasters and Thematique 21with the King Tiger on the cover:

The second is Super Model (PL) issue 44 cover with Lowe the same as Hobbyworld (SPA) 151 and Military Modelcraft International (ENG) April 2013 issue:

The third is Dorchester published in Scale Military Modeller International issue 505:

Leopard VK 16.02

Next time I met Amusing Hobby kit on my way. It was one of my favourite builds and the result is presented below. I used some aftermarket parts - barrels, towing cable, Friulmodel tracks. As you can see it has unique painting scheme - I know it is controversial but the Paper Panzer subjects let me play with colors and shapes with no limits.
It is planned to be published in Super Model and some other modelling magazines.

 

 

Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe from Amusing Hobby

One of the latest models from Amusing Hobby. I added some extra parts to make it more interesting because the kit is quite basic. It will be published in Polish Super Model magazine and  (hope so) in Military Modelcraft International.

The King is Dead - Hungary, Lake Balaton area, 1945

I bought this already built Tamiya model as a "scrap" but it was a pretty good hit. It was stripped of details but covered with sand primer. With add-ons I had in my collection, I managed to fit Eduard metal barrel, metal fenders and mesh from Griffon Model, some details from the Dragon models and Friulmodel metal tracks. In addition, I enriched the set with the antenna from RB Model, Elefant rear lamp handle and weld lines made of thin plastic sticks that were softened with glue, and then formed by the tip of a knife.  
The article about this kit was published in Polish Super Model magazine (5(42)2012). Here are some shots:
