Small Scale Military Headquarters

My sources indicate that directives were issued in February, 1945 to use a dark olive green as the base coat on all new armored vehicles. I don't know whether this particular vehicle existed or not, however.

A German prime mover for the 88. The 8-ton comes to mind but there are others such as the 18-ton that would be nice.

I got a good deal on a Scratch and Dent 21st Century 1:18 Yellow 7 Me-262, but without the tail rudder. Anyone got an extra rudder for sale?

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't know a soft-edge camo scheme if I saw one, but there are several pictures of most German vehicles including King Tigers as this link. Something should "click" for you.

I picked up one figure each of the four per set non-special Can-Do Approach to Stalingrad and Panzer Grenadier guys. Also saw two Dragon Warbirds F6F Hellcat "00" 1:72 models and two Dragon 1:72 armor German Maus with the fake turret at my local Tuesday Mornings.

These were first seen at Target and later, I think, at Wal-mart.

Ah so... Thanks.

uksubs, where did you find it? Thanks.

First image of the FOV Opel I've seen. I located it on EBay Hong Kong site.

I don't know...I don't like it for some reason.

Maybe a gray canvas top would have be more to my liking instead of the green.

Here is the first pic I've seen of the actual product.

I'm interested in a couple.

My sources show Tigers of this Abt. being all solid panzer yellow at the time of Kursk in July, 1943. They also show these Tigers being panzer gray with whitewash during the Winter '42-'43. It is probable that they were still gray after the whitewash wore off during the spring and weren't painted ye...

Like the rest, I never pre-order as I've been burned a couple of times when I asked vendors to hold an order until all of it can be filled so I wouldn't be charged more than once for shipping. They shipped anyway with just the one item. I do plan on getting the Puma, but will bundle it with other it...

My books indicate that tank it probably from schwer Panzer-abteilung 503 which operated in Normandy from July, 1944. This unit used the black numerals outlined in white and had a tank numbered "331". The placement of the numerals and the placement of spare track links on the turrent and not on the f...

Just based on one source, I doubt this Marder S1 vehicle would have this camo in Russia, 1941. Pictures I've seen show only gray vehicles covered with dust and mud, mud that was sometimes smeared on as camo. In winter, whitewash was applied. Now in spring of 1942 in Russia, gray vehicles with green ...

'Stopped at TRU today and found two of the Elephants mixed in with the modern FOV vehicles. I looked at one of them for quite a while but finally left it on the shelf. If there'd been a well-sculptured crew member or, perhaps, some interesting markings I probably would have picked it up. They also h...

Looks like they were inspired by the M20 Armored Car crossed with something from the second Mad Max movie.

American, How did you contact them? I messed up my address when ordering and haven't heard from them when I tried to straighten it out via the website? Thanks.

I popped the gun from it's mount and then filed the bottom of the shield at the back of the mantlet down until it would depress sufficiently. I then popped the gun back in.

German tractor-drawn artillery: 10.5cm FH18 or 15cm FH18 with 5-ton tractor. It's a possibility now that HM is doing the 25 pounder.
