Great work!

Thanks Ralph!!!

Glad you like it

My next project will be either a Panzer IV or some sort of Sherman
that will be part of my Step by Step guide that I'm writing at this
very moment... I have a competition coming up next weekend so
nothing will be done until after the competition has ended...

Hi Sven-Åke,
I must admit, I too, thought I was looking at a 1/35th scale build. It would be a great build in 1/35th, but I'm just amazed with the finish you managed to get on something that small. The extra stowage is remarkable.
I'd go .

Thanks Joe!!!

The quality of the kits today is almost comparable with their
1/35 scale counterparts so with some careful painting and
detailing it is actually possible to get pretty good results in
this small scale.

Really glad you like it!!!

Thanks Karl !!!

I thought the same when I first saw other peoples builds in 1/72
but after a few kits a noticed an improvement and that combined
with a lust for experimentation I got better and better and that
is something you should remember, practice and practice and
even more practice... And try different techniques until you find
one that suits you...

Good Luck!!!

Another point is that these kits are much cheaper than the 1/35 ones ! Guy
