My first time trying to assemble a photo etch detail set. I managed to drop and loose some parts and had to improvise replacements. It's going into an Academy 1:72 kit for an A6M Zero. I tried the same kit as my first foray into model kits as an adult years ago, screwed up the decals, got a second kit, and then for several years have found other projects and acquired accessories like tho photo etch. Now I'm finally going to build it.

The model was scaled to the Monogram First Lunar Landing model kit, because I happened to have one of the astronaut figures from that laying around. It would have been VERY small, like mini-van sized probably. I was comparing it to narrow-gauge logging and agricultural railroads here on Earth, where things are scaled down. I designed a locomotive and passenger cars too, on paper, but never built them.

Hobby store in #Eugene #Oregon had a 30% off sale on models so I finally picked up the @TamiyaUSA P-51D I have been looking to build. Also a fresh rattle can of Tamiya’s Silver Leaf paint, which the store said is the closest to polished aluminum that they sell.

I'm into model making because I build Bandai Star Wars and Gundam models. I have purchased some paint from this company so I get this email and in it.
This... I have no words except why?

#tanktuesday A Finnish post war Pz. IV unit with a smuggled in Pz. III which the Finns never had. These are all Italeri and Tamiya kits. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

In the case you grew up with these 1:32 Airfix toy soldiers as I did you should note more changes in appearance ... #132scale #54mm #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge #toysoldiers #armymen

More figures of my 1/32 Italeri Soviet Winter Infantry set, painted as Finns. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

It's #tanktuesday again! This time with my 1/35 Italeri SU-100 in 1973 Syrian colours. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

Another scene with different 1/35 kits and miniatures. This time a 3,7 cm Flak 43 and a Demag 1t. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

And another pic of my 1/35 GAZ crane lorry. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

The best helper tools I have on my bench are 3x5 aluminum blocks. I need a few more.

In the meantime you might know this particular desert setting, but this time the tank is a 1/35 Italeri Panzerjäger I, #135scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

I had a lot of fun converting this old 1/35 Tamiya Churchill tank into a captured German tank equipped with a German 7,5 cm cannon. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

And this is a full view of the 1/35 Italeri Commando Jeep from my previous toot. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

For #tanktuesday I'm tooting today about my 1/35 Tamiya Centurion up gunned with a 105 mm cannon and some other small alterations of detail. This built kit was given to me by a friend in a very sorry state and I invested some time into fixing and converting it to an IDF tank. #135scale #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge

Have I shown to you my Tiger II Schwere Panzerabteilung yet? Although these are 1/72 ready made models from Japan, maybe of Fujimi origin or similar. I guess in WWII such a unit would have been a considerable force to deal with. #172scale #afvmodel #tankmodel #tankmodelling #scalemodel #plasticmodels #scalemodelling #wargames #wargaming #hobby #miniatures #shipmodel #shipmodelling #H0gauge
