M42 Duster by Chris Davis

Romanian R-2 SPG by Chan Jackson

 Chan' s build of the old ICM kit of the Czech Skoda Takam R-2 self-propelled tank destroyer in Romanian makings. 

The model was painted with Tamiya and AK paints and weathered with Mig and Soil Works (Scale 75) pigments and weathering products. 

The infantry figures are Evolution and the crew pieced together from several old figures in the spares collection.

The R-2 SPG was built by removing the turret of the R-2 light tank (a slightly modified Panzer 35(t) and building a pedestal to mount a Soviet 76.2mm Zis-3 field gun in its place. The Romanians produced fewer than 24of the machines.  The major problem they faced was procuring enough ammunition for the gun.

King Tiger II by Terry McKeown

 Here's another King Tiger by Terry. This one is Dragon's release of the early model of the King Tiger II.  The kit is painted with Tamiya acrylics over an AK primer. Oils and mud paste were used to weather the beast. 

Terry reports that it was an easy build and has lots of detail parts that make it stand out. He used the kit decals and did add 3-D printer tool clamps.

The figure is a Tamiya German tank commander. 

T34-122 (T-122) by Chan Jackson

This is the 2001 boxing of Maquette's 1/35th T-122.  It came with a nicely done resin turret but suffered from excessive flash and some very thick parts. The individual track links were thick and fit poorly so Chan borrowed a set of link and length track from a Trumpeter kit.

Chan painted the kit with Krylon primer and Tamiya acrylics for the camouflage scheme and modulation effects. Mig and AK enamels, oils, and pigments were used to weather the model.

The figure is a VLS Warriors offering painted with Vallejos acrylics.

Terry's 1/35th Dragon Sd.Kfz. 250/10 finished with Tamiya paints and an oil wash weathering. The kit was an easy build with lots of detail.
