Fantastic work here gentlement! I like the campaigns that have a good mix of subjects. It's always good to see some wingy things etc.
I've finally made some progress on my wz. 34-II. The kit gives you the basic shapes, everything else has to be scratched. Okay, not quite, but almost... I'm using the "other axis and allied" planbook by George Bradford and my Mk. I eyeball, I'm not after total accuracy but instead see it more as an excercise in scratchbuilding.

Bob, it's Mirage Hobby's kit, reviewed by myself here.
Made the front wheels yesterday and they are nothing like the real thing supposedly is. But my skills are too limited to construct new ones... the tires are rubber with lots of flash, horrible to clean up...
Cheers!

Hi all
I've wanted to join this campaign with following SKP figure:
This will be tanker from 1st Armoured Division.
Its my first contact with resin.
In a small silver box we get 3 parts from dark blue resin.
While the sculpture is nice and in comparison with plastic figures detailed, unfortunately quality of the cast is not the highest. In some places there are minor defects and on the hand is air bubble.
However, the worst is the seam line, which runs the entire height of the figure.
But of course I have putty and sandpaper.

Yes the seam and bubbles are a concern, however the face looks great, I'm very much looking forward to your progress

Great looking 7TP Bob! Bit more dirt maybe?
My Wz-34-II is built. Lots of work in it. Next painting, three tone with black demarcation lines. Any comments welcome!
Cheers!

Thanks for your interest Paul.
Nice tank Bob.
Stefan, great build. I'm waiting for more.
And as for my tanker, I was able to eliminate defects. Of course spraying with Tamiya Surface Primer, revealed a few places to fix. Unfortunately, during a photo shoot I broke the shoe. It turned out that inside was a huge air bubble.
For pictures I fixed it temporarily with Blu Tack.

I have collected to build a few 1/72 vehicles used by the Polish Home Army for a further dio of Warsaw uprising. I decided to build 1/72 Dragon SdKfz.251D, and to finish it with either Armo's or Dragon's own Polish Home Army decals.

And here is somthing special. Sample of original paints used to paint T-72

Thanks guys! I kept the weathering low, as I imagine these were well kept in the inter war years. It's 1:35 by the way. Mirage's kit.
