Andi's Centaur Mk.IV 1/72 IBG Models
Hello, I finally manage to present at least my model for the Group Build! I will be building a Centaur Mk.IV in 1/72 from IBG Models. I haven't even started researching yet, but I hope it will be a simple OOB build to represent one of the Royal Marines' vehicles from D-Day. More to come. Best...- vizenz

Daimler Armoured Car Mk.I - 1/72 - IBG
Hello, Unfortunately I don't have much time for model building at the moment. But I did continue for a little bit, so here's an update. I concentrated on finishing one vehicle first before I move on to the second. I have all the parts for "Sheila" so far. Since the original vehicle had a small...- vizenz

Tim’s 1/72 IBG Inns of Court Daimler armoured car.
No one will believe you. We've all seen your little Somuas! ;) I'm just going to be so bold... Could you imagine selling the decals from the RAC Gunnery School Lulworth vehicle? I've circled the relevant decals (the most important for me would be the two WD Census numbers). If not, no problem...- vizenz

Andis Zvezda 1/144 Hurricane Mk l (Peters Hurricane GB)
Thank you all for the kind words. @Stefee, I didn't really understand your question at first. :tongue-out3: Since there is no photo of the right side of this plane, I looked for another Hurricane on Google and copied the code breakdown. That doesn't seem to have been the best idea. However...- vizenz

FV 107 CVR(T) Scimitar Mk.2 - 1/72 (Fore Hobby) - Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, 2020
Hello, here are the photos of my finished FV 107 CVR(T) Scimitar Mk.2. The model is from Fore Hobby and is in 1/72 scale. The kit has an excellent fit. However, it also has a huge number of tiny little parts - which is not always fun to work with. The only things I changed are the antennas (the...- vizenz

Andis Zvezda 1/144 Hurricane Mk l (Peters Hurricane GB)
Hello, here are finally the photos of my finished Hurricane. I built the plane from the soft plastic wargaming model from Zvezda. I milled out the fuselage and built a cockpit in scratch. I also "deep-drawn" the glass parts myself so that the cockpit canopy could be shown open. There are also a...- vizenz

Daimler Armoured Car Mk.I - 1/72 - IBG
Where did you get all this food from? And don't throw crumbs all over again! :tears-of-joy: Thank you guys, you're great! :smiling5: Here is a short situation report of my DACs. For the IBG model, I have only finished the wheel suspension so far. Otherwise, I have studied the real photos of...- vizenz

FV107 Scimitar Mk.II CVR(T) - 1/72 - Fore Hobby
Paul, Jim, Arnold, thank you all for the kind words. I have been working on the Scimitar a little over the last two days. First there was a pin-wash with Mig's "Dark Brown for Green Vehicles". After that I spent a while experimenting with different layers of dirt and dust. Unfortunately I...- vizenz

Hi, yesterday I got some brass rods, 20 sanding sticks and the scraper/scriber tool set that @Andy T recommended to me. Thanks Andy! I'm looking forward to trying it out. Best regards, Andi -

Latest Acquisitions (2024)
Hello, and once again the postman was very good to me! New eBay finds. Since each one came in a separate package, SWMBO looked a bit surprised. :smiling5: But now I've almost stocked up on all the old Bundeswehr kits that were available. All that's missing are a few old M48 and Leopard 1 from... -

FV107 Scimitar Mk.II CVR(T) - 1/72 - Fore Hobby
Of course! Today was decal time! Unfortunately, the options are very limited if you stick to the original. Thank you Arnold! Thank you very much Ian. Fiddly but very nice. Unfortunately, all Scimitar Mk.2s were painted just in "(British) Nato Green" after they were taken back from...- vizenz

FV107 Scimitar Mk.II CVR(T) - 1/72 - Fore Hobby
Thanks, friends! I finally managed to paint most of the details. And so far I haven't actually destroyed anything yet! Next there will be a coat of gloss varnish, decals and pinwash. The vehicle has exactly the opposite "problem" as my last model. The AEC Armored Bus had a boring shape but an...- vizenz

Daimler Armoured Car Mk.I - 1/72 - IBG
Yes it is. Oh, the pattern is correct (the tires were used mirrored), but the tread should be a little thicker. But I will have to (and I can) live with that.- vizenz

Daimler Armoured Car Mk.I - 1/72 - IBG
It is! The hull cover is on, a little bit of filler was used and the first PE parts were installed. I also found a photo of the Polish decal variant DAC in an old Ledwoch magazine. Unfortunately it doesn't help much because you can't see anything except the WD number. However, the number is...- vizenz

Daimler Armoured Car Mk.I - 1/72 - IBG
Welcome Paul! I started gluing the first parts together. If you leave out the interior there aren't very many parts. However, both side parts were slightly warped on me. So it took quite a while to align the whole thing. And the front and rear parts also had to be adjusted a few times until...- vizenz

Welcome to Geoff’s D-Day 80th Anniversary tribute chat thread.
Hello Steve, The problem should be solved. This Mosquito variant was in service during the landing operations in Normandy. I quickly browsed through some of my literature and found a few FB Mk.VI in D-Day colors: With the Tamiya decals you already have all the national insignia. So you...- vizenz
