The M1 Abrams in a variety of scales. The biggest ( seen in one picture) is in 1:35 while the smallest is in 1:144. It'd be nice to take a picture of them with my 1:18 M1 too.

WIP: More work on the Russian Tank Destroyer SU-122

Most of the kit was partially built ages ago and some parts need regluing, resanding or replacing.I like the way this Tamiya kit designed the wheels. The parts fit perfectly. I hadn't realized that some of the parts were left to unglued and were just dry fitted for around a decade already without falling off! I also found the rive sprocket assembly quite clever, having no center rod as an axle but attaching directly to the underchassis but still freely locating. As you can see, the kit was designed to be motorized but I can't rememeber if it did come with a motor. The directions do not mention one so I believe the motor was an optional part.

Sturmgeschütz IV

The Sturmgeschütz IV in 1:35 from Tamiya Sturmgeschütz (or StuG) meaning "assault gun" was a series of armored vehicles used by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War that primarily consisted of the StuG III and StuG IV. The most common of the two, the StuG III, was built on the chassis of the proven Panzer III. The StuG III was initially designated "StuG" but with the creation of the StuG IV it was re-designated the "StuG III" to distinguish the two. Initially they were intended as a mobile, armored gun platform, providing close fire support to the infantry to destroy bunkers, pillboxes and other entrenched positions. As the war progressed a number of aspects of the StuG series made them a valued supplement to the panzer forces. -- Wikipedia This is an old build and I sadly do not have this model anymore. The pictures are scans from old print I had of the model taken mid 1980's I believe. posted from Bloggeroid
