M4A3E8

Still in progress. But moving forward on it. Dragons 1/35 "Thunderbolt VII" Sherman. I'd been waiting for some pigments in order to finish this up, and in the process of constantly looking it over, decided the tools could use a little adjustment. So that's what I've attempted.

The kit tools had the molded on brackets, which were fine all things considered. Just not what I was looking for. So the tools were cleaned up and new brackets built from leftover PE frets.

Opel Blitz

Opel Blitz 3 ton. Truck coal engine. This is the Italeri 1/35 scale kit. It also has the late war Einheits version of the cab, (wood cab).  An Eduard PE set was used for that extra touch of detail. The hood was cut open and most of the detail scratch built for the engine. All the windows were replaced with thin clear plastic so that the side windows could be cut and posed open. Model Master paints and Tamiya Weathering master pigments finished it off. In the bed is the Dragon 1/35 scale 3cm Flak 38/103 Jaboschreck. The trailer frame is from the Dragon kit while the box is scratch built.

 

Katyusha

Stug III Ausf.G

Stug III Ausf. G. Dragons 1/35 Imperial Series kit. It has the Eduard PE set added, which was a large improvement to the model.
