Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 7: Chipping
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 6: Barrels, exhausts & decals
I have added few touches to KaMi some day before my last week’s trip, mostly dealing l with the details. First I painted the barrels of the two machine guns. For this […]
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 5: Dry-brushing, filters, washes & tracks
I have spent last few evenings adding few touches to the Ka-Mi. To tone down the contrast created by preshading and highlighting I applied oil filter. I used my trusty Winsor & Newton […]
Type 2 Ka-Mi – Part 4: Second highlights

This is one of my really early models. I can’t even remember exactly when I have built it, but it must be at least 5 years. Given my level of experience at that time, the result […]
Panzer III
This Panzer III was my first serious attempt at winter camo as well as my first try with the resin engine set. It dates back about 3 years, the kit is from […]
El Alamein Sherman
