  1. So Eduard’s Facebook page has just shared photos of their design team working on potential schemes. So far I can see two schemes for the 352nd FG, including one OD and one NMF. Both have full length invasion stripes. Then there’s ‘Margie Maru’ a 354th FG aircraft in OD with full length invasion stripes. Knowing Eduard though this is probably just the tip of the iceberg
  2. Is there any info on potential schemes yet? I’ve seen there’s the potential of ‘Lou III’ from the 361st FG, but I was wondering if any other info has been released? I’d personally love to see a 339th FG airframe or even 353rd. Of course, that’s me being biased towards the 8th but when you live in East Anglia… 😂
  3. Fantastic conversion! It’s interesting to see in Uruguayan markings
  4. Very nice looking Cat! A truly inspirational build
  5. Excellent comet! You’ve done a really good job there, I especially like your stowage
  6. Nice one Francis! I love the colour modulation that you’ve been able to achieve on the dunkelgelb!
  7. Nice one! An original take on a classic tank and kit
  8. Looks good to me Andy! The figure gives a great sense of scale and is nicely finished too. The weathering looks spot on too.
  9. Great work, I really like your dry-brushing. A lot of people tend to think the technique archaic but this goes to show it still is a very effective finish on a model.
  10. Nice little Vignette Andy! I especially like your stowage and figures, you’ve achieved great and realistic highlights on both. The tree gives a nice bit of atmosphere and really proves that less is sometimes more in a small display
  11. Lovely bit of work, you’ve really brought that kit up to date in its finish. I’d be proud of that if mine looked like that in 35th! A great overall collection you should be proud of! 🙌🏼
  12. This looks really interesting, I’m looking forward to seeing the full release. What I’m hoping for is that one day they’ll do a late F with the bulged cheek guns, as seen deleted then later reinstated on the G. Ultimately though, there’s so many sub-types available HK will be kept busy for years! Though I’m holding out for a G with the Cheyenne tail position 🤞🏼
  13. Nice build! I really like your camo work and your choice of colours!
  14. I really like that! Looks really menacing. Great work
  15. Hey all, Benefitting from my first Christmas off in six years, I managed to sneak one last build past the goal post before the new year. This is Trumpeter's BTR-50PK from 2011, which followed on from their release of the PT-76 amphibious light tank, of which both vehicles share a common hull. This kit comes with decal options for either Russian or East German vehicles. The decals contain set numbers for vehicles depicted on the colour schemes as well as a set of numbers 0-9 to make up your own vehicles. I painted the vehicle using the suggested body colour as per the instructions, which was Mr. Hobby's 303 Light Green. I feel it might be a little too light, and for future builds I might shop around for a darker shade prior to painting. Departing from the colour scheme, I recently purchased Tankograd Publishing's book on NVA T-34s, and one image of interest I found was that of a T-34 ARV towing a disabled BTR whilst on winter exercises. The image shows both vehicles in a field applied winter scheme with daubs of white paint applied hap-hazardly over the vehicle. I was inspired by the look to replicate this on my vehicle. Ultimately I used a somewhat frayed old, square brush I had and with Humbrol 34, I took the excess off the brush and applied the rest in a random pattern over the vehicle. The weathering was achieved with oil paints, thinned down Tamiya Acrylics to make filters as well as AK Interactive's Acrylic Mud. I also used Tamiya snow effect. In a departure from recent builds, I decided to have a go at a vignette, which is a first for me. Using a cheaply sourced canvas, I glued down polystyrene sheet and shaped it to create a sunken road. I then applied the same acrylic mud that I had used on the vehicle. I blended some Tamiya snow into the mud to create a slushy, snowy, muddy look. The rest of the snow was applied to make it look like recent snowfall. I added grass tufts that I bought off of a wargaming vendor at a recent Tankfest, and then I drybrushed the tufts white to make them look suitably wintery. My final addition to the vehicle was a commander figure, which was spare from a recent Tamiya T-55 Enigma that I had built. Thanks for looking! Sam
