1/72 Multiverse: June 2014
http://72-multiverse.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2014. The VIG1 was a tractor manufactured by David Brown Engineering Limited for use by the RAF as an aircraft/supply tug during WWII and well into the 50's. 1/72 versions of the tractor can be found in the Airfix Short Stirling kit from 1966, and the WWII RAF Bomber Re-Supply Set (A05330) from last year. A 1/76 diecast version is also produced by Oxford. I am currently assembling both old and new Airfix tugs, having picked up an old Craft Master (MPC) Short Stirling at a good price.

World War 2 Modelling Zone. Montag, 14. Februar 2011. Some kind of advertising. Two weeks ago I made an order at RBmodels. Its is a company based in Poland that offers metal barrels for tanks in 1:72 and 1:35 and some other stuff. I needed 10 barrels for the T34/76 tank and some metal barrels for the Revell S-100 boat (if you could see my future projects list, it is sooo long), and after some research on the web, this shop was the one with the lowest prices. Italeri ZIS-3 gun and AT team. The figures wer...

First part can be found on his website, too) and suddenly I knew whats to build next. Actually the this mod was for an Tamiya SU-122 kit in 1:35, but I used my kit of the SU-100 from AER,. Or was it PST? Here are some pictures of the almost finished model. There are only some smaller parts to attach, then the kit will get its sealing. If th...

World War 2 Modelling Zone. Sonntag, 13. Februar 2011. Orion AA Quad Maxim and DSHK updated. Here are some pictures of the new Soviet figure sets by Orion, "Soviet Quad Maxim AA MG and Crew" (#72037) and "Soviet DShK AA MG and Crew" (#72038). First the Maxim Quad, it can be used well for early war scenarios, the figures wear their field hats and are armed with rifles, the equipment of them is mostly light. These figures were painted in my Soviet scheme, too. The machine gun was build without any problems.

World War 2 Modelling Zone. Dienstag, 26. Oktober 2010. Hong Kong Airfix Afrikakorps clones with helmets (updated). Today I received a figure lot from the bay and it included a great surprise. Among many other figures it contained about 100 of Hong Kong clone figures of the good old Airfix Afrikakorps set. But these check out the picture below. A reader left a comment, that these minis are copies from the old ESCI hardplastic set of the Africakorps, and it seems that he is right. Check out this link.

World War 2 Modelling Zone: Italeri ZIS-3 gun and AT team
http://ww2modelzone.blogspot.com/2011/02/italeri-zis-3-gun-and-at-team.html
World War 2 Modelling Zone. Montag, 14. Februar 2011. Italeri ZIS-3 gun and AT team. Pictures of the Soviet ZIS 3 antitank gun and crew from Italeri (#6097). It's a nice kit without flash and with only minimal mould lines. All figures and the ammo box are based on 1 cent coins. The only negative point of this kit is that the barrel can't be moved up and down, becaus the ZIS 3 gun was not only used for fighting tanks, it was used as normal field artillery too. The machine gunner got his cape painted in a ...
