Saw these two in my local model shop and couldn't resist the sheer nostalgia (don't worry about the Yak) a d seeing as I'm away from home an oob build with a basic toolkit was just about feasible and give me something to amuse myself after hours.

 

Chassis assembled.

 

Wheels done

 

Some assembly

 

That's the tractor done, I'll weather it when I get home. Now on to the 88mm.

I can't help thinking that the stormtroopers, clutching their Mausers were the inspiration for the Star Wars stormtroopers! 🤣

 

I don't have the bridge layer but it's on my list, my Grandfather was in the RE in Europe after D Day which inspires me!

The finished article, I bored out the muzzle of the 88 and added some glazing to the windscreen as well as painting the canvas in a slightly different shade. I'll weather the whole thing another time.

T34 next, this took about 10 minutes to build, still I wanted one for my collection, some filling and touch up still required and if course weathering, the DUKW next

The DUKW progresses.

And nearly done.

The T 34 gets a touch up and some decals.

And the same on the Churchill.

 

Weathering on all of the above and then to build the Tiger, I think I need to do the Panther too then I have to admit I'm done. Enjoyable builds but way too simple to keep me amused long term.
