All the good things!

Nice Boxart

The pictures are promising

What I found inside is great!

The tracks!

A detail picture. I couldnt`t believe that this one is a snap kit!

Last but not least, the decals.

I was amazed! This one is a "Snap Kit" without gluing needed? Wow, but we will see after the assembling, if the pieces fit together.

Fantassin, Russian Infantry, A comparison

Here two pictures with Figures for a comparison. Pegasus, Esci, Fantassin, Italeri, Revell. On the scond one two more of the Fantassin-Minis.

Fantassin, Russian Infantry, 1:72

On 25th of December I won an auction at ebay. Last week finally the figures arrived. I told you about the Tank-Crews from Fantassin some time ago. Now it is the Russian Infanty (Stalingrad). Some interesting poses and nice details, but the lying figures with the MG`s are not the best ones. Perhabs after a lot of work they will be usable. But take a look...

Bedfords, Airfix, 1:76, A view in the box

Today a want to show you some pictures of the content of the new Airfix-Bedford Kit. It contains three sprues for two Trucks, a little bag with windows, the instruction, a coloured painting instruction and a huge decal-sheet.

1. A general view

2. The sprues

3. The wheels are flattened on one side. Nice detail!

4. The third sprue and the bag with the clear plastic for the windiows

5.Now the colored instruction for painting and using decals and the decals

The sprues looking very good and the decal sheet is superb. All in all two truck for nearly 10 €. I would buy them again!!



Russian Tank Crew, Staff and Drivers, Fantassin, 1:72

Today I want to show you my latest Buy. Russian Tank Crew, Staff and Drivers from the spanish company "Fantassin". The Box contains 20 Figures and one Dog. The first impression is really good. I like especially the sitting figure with the cigarette (the second one sitting on the pencil). I will prime them later on, I think the details can be seen better after that.

Sd.Kfz. 10, Demag D 7, Caesar, 1:72

Here you find the content of the Box of this nice kit. Four sprues with fine detailed parts, two little bags (one with the 3 Crew-Members and one with the Vinyl-wheels) a plan and the decals. As we are in Germany unfortunately some of the decals were paintad black, because some symbols are forbidden here.
On first sight a briilant kit and worth the money (I paid 10 € at Monumental-Modells, my favorite web-shop). Greetings to you, Burns ;-)

X-mas on December 20th?

Yesterday my long awaited parcel arrived. It is a X-mas present I made myself with two kits, colours, SHQ-Figures and some equipment. As you can see there is the kit of the Sd.Kfz. 10 wich contains the figures from yesterdays post. In the next days I will show you the content of the boxes, if you like.

Pak 35/36, ACE, 1:72

Yesterday was St. Martins day with a pageant in my village and the following "schnörzen" (The children went from house to house and sing songs about the holy St. Martin and got a few sweets for it)I was out with my sons the whole evening. Always a hightlight in autumn.
Because of that, nothing new can be presented. But I decided to try my first kit by using Photo etched parts. For a start, this Pak 35/36. The etched parts seem to be a little thick. I will take oictures of the progress. All of you a nice weekend!

Gestern war ja St. Martin und das wird bei uns im Dorf immer groß aufgezogen, mit Umzug, Feuer und anschließendem schnörzen (Als Neurheinländer wusste ich auch nicht, was das ist.) Da ich mit meinen Jungs natürlich dabei war, gibt es nichts neues.
Aber ich habe beschlossen, endlich mal was mit Photoätzteilen zu bauen. Zum Herantasten erstmal was kleines, diese PaK. Die Ätzteile scheinen ein wenig dick zu sein. Ich werde Euch auf dem laufenden halten!
