Voroshilovets Artillery tractor – Part 13: Touch ups
So the last step in this build was to add bit more mud to the running gear and wheels. Previously I have used only small number of pigments, I have added more […]
FT-17 is coming!
The waiting is over… Meng broke the news today that they will be bringing FT-17 to market. The news could not be better. I was waiting for a decent kit of this […]

The Desert War Then and Now
After the Battle is already well-known and popular series of publications among the modellers, so I don’t think there is much needed in terms of introduction. I took notice of the publisher […]
Pz.IV Ausf.H – Part 4: Chipping
Everything ready for chipping I exchanged the airbrush for a paintbrush and clear water and went on a few day’s chipping spree… Again, as I have already mentioned, I greatly benefited from […]
Pz.IV Ausf.H – Part 3: Hairspray & Base coat
After applying the red primer paint layer I proceeded to the next steps – the first one was application of hairspray. I have followed Mike Rinaldi’s technique as described in his book […]
