About Ha PHAM (pouikpouik)
FROM: HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM

29-yo electronician and my first kit was the M113 ACAV from Academy. That was back in the lately 1999 when I still in high school and then have been modelling ever since. My favorite is 1/35 Vietnam conflict armors and it takes mostly 4-5 months to finish one.

This is my AFV Club Centurion MK5/1 Australian Force in Vietnam with AFV Club workable tracks and a bit of Verlinden accessories. I didn’t use Eduard photo-etched because of the high level detail of the company. The negative point of this kit is the turret without mantlet cover (almost used in Vietnamese tropical condition) and the rubber tyres. So, I replaced it by the resin turret from LionMarc. Overall is painted with Revell enamel then several coats of gloss cote (Future) for decals application. The weathering is done after mattcote coats with artist oil paint washing then finished with MIG pigments and artist pastels. Hope you all love it!!

Very nice, very nice. One question though. The last time I was in Vietnam (back in 2001) I could only find one shop in Ho Chi Minh city (District 10 I think it was), how is the situation now? harald
