Opel Blitz, Panzer III, Zvezda, 1:100

Yesterday I continued my work on the about 30 Germans. But after painting 30 Bread Bags, Canteens, Gas Mask shelters and so on I get bored. So I continued my paintwork on these two little kits from Zvezda. Still W.I.P. but I can see the end. I´m not satisfied with the windows of the Opel. I used a dark colour and then I took a coat of glossy varnish. It doesn`t work that way I thought it should. I would be grateful for every suggestion to paint those "windows"!

Russian Truck, Zvezda, 1:100

Today I want to show the last Zvezda Kit I bought two weeks ago. The Russian Truck. Sureprisingly this one got an engine. You also can open the engine bonnet. Again a nice kit from Zvezda!

Opel Blitz, Zvezda, 1:100

First of all I have to say sorry that I was not able to comment your post and your work the last days. I`ve got heavy problems with my internet connection. After a few minutes or soemtimes half an hour my connection goes down and I´m not able to go to the net for hours or days. I don`t know why, have to ask my provider :-(

Today I want to show you the Opel Blitz from Zvezda in 15 mm or 1:100 scale. An intersting kind of kit and again, no glue was needed. Thumbs up for the new Range made by Zvezda.

I have changed the pictures of the Halftrack I posted yesterday. I wasn`t able to do it faster.

Zvezda " Art of Tactic", 1:100, update

Yesterday I primecoated these tanks and built them. Took about 10 Minutes and they fit well. No glue was nessecary. Only at the Panzer III some rework will be needed because the front part of the hull won´t snap into the right position. I like these kits but it willbe a challenge to paint them. In the second picture you can see three Roskopf-Tanks I bought two weeks ago. They are in the same scale and I think that´s right. And here the Minis with their great brothers: A Panzer III from Italeri (1:72), a T 34 from Matchbox (1:76) and a Panzer II from Revell/Matchbox (1:76).

Welcome Samy! Du hier? Ich freue mich!!!

Zvezda, Art of Tactic, T 34, Panzer II & III, 1:100

Nothing spectacular today, just a few new kits. They are from Zvezda´s "Art of Tactic" game and I bought them because I collect the 1:100 scale and want to make a comparison with my Roskopf-Modells.

First of all a T 34

A Panzer II.

A Panzer III

A russian Truck, I don´t know the type.

Last but not least the good old Opel Blitz Truck.

Kettenkrad & Infanteriegeschütz "Püppchen", Roskopf, 1:100 ???

Today a new purchase for my Roskopf-Collection. A "Kettenkrad" with a light infantry gun called "Püppchen". The Roskopf- Range is normally 1:100 but this one seems more like 1:87. You can compare it with the Kettenkrad from Academy in 1:72 in pictures 3+4.

Russian Transport Tanks, roskopf, 1:100

I`ve got 5 more for my Roskopf-Collection. Russian Troop carriers, a recce vehicle and one with a twin AA-Gun.

CH-34 G & Kraka, Roskopf, 1:100

Today I will show you this Helicopter and a so called "Kraka" (Kraftkarren) with 20mm Gun from Roskopf.

Do someone know why my Posts aren´t shown with pictures in the Blog-Lists of other blogs? What have I done wrong???

Transport Units, German Armed Forces, 1:100

Saturday! Time to clean up my collection of Vehicles of the German Armed Forces made by Roskopf. A little bit dusty. I collect them since my childhood.

Flakpanzer, Roskopf, 1:100

Here are my AA-Tanks of the Bundeswehr. Two Flakpanzer Gepard and one FlaRak-Panzer Roland made by Roskopf.


Hier meine Flugabwehrpanzer der Bundeswehr. Zwei Flakpanzer Gepard und ein Rakentenpanzer Roland von Roskopf.

Schützenpanzer Marder, Roskopf, 1:100

Now to something totally different....
In my childhood I loved the Tanks and vehicles from Roskopf. They fitted to my railroad and were distributed as HO-Scale. But truly it is 1:100. I had dozens of them and a few survived the centuries. The company doesn`t exist but I found some modells in internet auctions. So I started collecting them again. They were made for a game called "Stratik", but I was too young to understand the rules. Here are 3 Schützenpanzer Marder and one Marder with Mortar.




In meiner Kindheit habe ich die Roskopf Modelle geliebt. Ich hatte dutzende und die passten ganz gut zur Modelleisenbahn. Als HO verkauft sind die Modelle tatsächlich in 1:100. Nur wenige haben die Jahrzehnte überlebt aber ich habe Roskopf in online Auktionen gefunden und wieder angefangen, sie zu sammeln. Damals waren sie auch für ein Spiel namens "Stratik" gedacht, aber ich war zu jung, um die Regeln zu verstehen. Hier also 3 Schützenpanzer Marder und ein Marder mit Mörser.
