Re: A PZ IV From First Legion

Very nice looking model. However it is Pz III possibly an J or L model. I remember Nichimo released a series of three plastic PZ III models that were very well made in 1/30 scale. Forgot to add they were released in the mid 70's.

1/18 Motorcycle model from China.

Saw this on a diecast car forum. Wish it was avaliable in the USA and a little cheaper in price. Just need to change the emblems to BMW .

Neat collection of planes. Some of the planes look more like later designs then I would have thought for prewar and early war planes.

They both look very nice. Did you have to stretch the Firefly's tracks to make them fit ? They look pretty good whatever you did.

Re: Major 1/18 Sherman Blunder

The Tamiya kit is based on the updated M4 radial engined Shermans. The US army decided to update the M4 with a 47 degree front plate that included the larger driver and co-driver hatches. It was easier to produce then the old multi piece 45 degree front plate and was better armoured. The first model...

M24 of WWII vintage used a metal track. Later version used a rubber blocked track with a chevron that does look a little like the Sherman's track. But Sherman tracks unlike the M24 and M41, don't have the center guide horn that run between the the inside and outside wheels. The Easy Eight Sherman tr...

Nice job on the Sherman. Is the engine scratchbuilt or did you modify one?
