  1. really nice job on that, i had a novo kit given to me many years ago and that was badly moulded. i still have about 5 of these to build by eastern express i was going to use on a model railway dock layout. not sure what to do with them now?
  2. great info, hope to make one for myself at some point
  3. really great model, the rubicon kits have come on a lot, the m54 6x6 truck is lovely.
  4. there was a running article in the tankette, the mafva magazine in the late 70-early 80's might be worth getting some they had scale drawings in them of various improvised armour of the home guard.
  5. i was only asked if a made one last weds for someone gaming the falklands, i sad not yet! just working on some more cold war softskins m1070 & m1070f, commander & antar mk3.
  6. blowing my own trumpet here! https://sandsmodels.com/product-category/172-20mm-post-war-modern-vehicles/172-20mm-post-war-modern-vehicles-172-post-war-british-vehicles/?orderby=date
  7. nice job, scratchbuilding is so satisfying but getting all the details right is not always possible so you can get away with leaving things off, most people won't know all the details anyway. looks good so far i want to do one in 1/72 at some point. can't wait to see it finished.
  8. looks nice, i wish i had those plans when i made my 1/72 commander model!
  9. the m36 jackson was based on the m10 which was based on the m4a2 diesel engined version, then later some were based on the m4a3 chassis and then the turret was just added to the m4a3 hull complete, nothing to do with the m3 lee or grant. the most glaring parts missing from the armourfast m4 ranges is the lack of rear ilder axles and exhausts but these are available after market. the best way to add detail to the armourfast kits is stowage and crews really, nice simple models as they are.
  10. i was in the army cadets in the mid 70's and we had a 2 week camp at penally near the ranges, we spent a few days & nights wandering around the castlemartin ranges and was woken up one night by a load of antars pulling leopard 1 tanks around the road ways there, it was the hot year of 76. a 2 weeks i shall always remember being driven around in bedford RL's in the heat.
  11. have you built the model? i would take it off your hands as i am a gamer and the discrepencies don't bother me tbh. rather than bin it. i would even pay the postage! lol thanks
  12. yes saw the vid myself a while ago another myth is the lack of H.E. for the 2pdr, which is rubbish, just not issued very much if at all.
  13. i have just watched a y/tube video on the swiss panzers and there is a pic used showing a korean period cent with a closed cab swb gmc towing a 105mm gun, it looks to me like korea as the cent has a white star on it.

  15. yes psc models are aimed at gamers but lots of modelers do buy them and many do conversions on them, again nice model for those on a budget or those who want more than 1 or 2 the same. they have plenty of models planned.
